To see information about the buffer cache after mounting file systems, use the cvdb(1) command with the -boption. To change the amount of memory used by the buffer cache at mount time, use the buffercachecap parameter.

On Windows, the non-paged pool is used for buffer cache memory until it consumes up to 64 megabytes (32-bit systems) or 64 gigabytes (64-bit systems). Any additional buffer cache memory comes from the paged pool.

Downloading the StorNext Client Software

The StorNext client software can be downloaded from a metadata controller. (To download the client software, the client system must have network access to the MDC.)

Note: You can download the client software only from MDCs running Linux or Unix.

1On the client system, point a web browser to the URL (host name and port number) of the MDC. For example, http://servername:81

Use one of the following web browsers to access the MDC (make sure pop-up blockers are turned off):

Internet Explorer 6.0 or later (including 7.0)

Mozilla Firefox 1.5 or later (including 2.0 or later)
