General Operating Guidelines and Limitations

 

 

Operating System /

 

Affected Component

Description

 

 

Windows

On Windows systems, StorNext may log error messages after reboot if it tries

 

to start before some other services. For example, if the network is not yet

 

available, a StorNext client cannot contact a StorNext server and posts an

 

error in the logs. (The client will continue to retry the connection until it is

 

successful.)

 

To prevent this from occurring, make the startup of StorNext services

 

dependant on another Windows service (for example, the Workstation

 

service). For more information, see the Microsoft Knowledge Base article

 

Q193888, “How to delay loading of specific services.”

 

 

 

Windows-based SNFS clients do not support symbolic links that point to a

 

file system outside of SNFS. Symbolic links are created either by a UNIX/

 

Linux client or by a Windows client (and are referred to as junctions).

 

 

 

Virus-checking software can severely degrade the performance of any file

 

system, including SNFS. If you have anti-virus software running on a

 

Windows Server 2003 or Windows machine, Quantum recommends

 

configuring the software so that it does NOT check SNFS.

 

 

 

For best performance and reliability, Quantum recommends running

 

Distributed LAN Servers on 64-bit versions of Windows (or on Linux).

 

Memory management limitations in 32-bit versions of Windows affect

 

Distributed LAN Server performance. Due to these limitations, Distributed

 

LAN Servers running on 32-bit versions of Windows are limited to 16

 

connections.

 

(Each file system and network interface represents a connection. For example,

 

if a Distributed LAN Server with 2 NICs serves 4 file systems to 4 Distributed

 

LAN Clients, it has a total of 32 connections.)

 

 

 

Do not use Windows Backup (the application included with Windows

 

operating systems) to back up the directory on which a StorNext file system

 

is mounted.

 

 

 

As of StorNext release 3.5 the Authentication tab has been removed from the

 

Windows Configuration utility. (For several previous StorNext releases a

 

messaged warned that this tab would be removed in an upcoming release:

 

“WARNING: Active Directory will be the only mapping method supported

 

in a future release. This dialog will be deprecated.”)
