Purpose of This Release
This release contains enhancements and corrections to problems encountered in previous versions. A
summary of major items follows:
NEW DRIVE SUPPORT (#527)
• Additional drives supported by this release of FileServ:
- IBM 3580 LTO - Solaris only until supported by IRIX tpsc device driver
NEW OS SUPPORT (#507)
• Add support for Solaris 8
- Requires Veritas VxFs version 3.3.3 + patch01
• Add support for IRIX 6.5.10m
MAXIMUM NUMBER OF TAPE COPIES RAISED(#493)
• The maximum number of tape copies for a file has been raised to four.
FILESTEERING BY DRIVEPOOL(#517)
• The capability to specify which drives are used in making individual tape copies has been added to
the filesteering filesize.config file. This capability allows a user with multiple archives to steer where
different tape copies are made. This can be accomplished by creating different storage drivepools for
each archive and then specifing the drivepool to be used for each copy in the filesize.config file.

Operating System Requirements
Patches
NOTE: ADIC recommends that you install all required Y2k patches for your machine.
Make sure you install all the patches that your vendor recommends for your kernel, operating system,
network, hardware, media, drive type, and storage devices.
Additionally, ADIC requires the patches, filesets, or packages listed below to successfully operate
FileServ. Obtain these patches from the appropriate vendor.
Platform Patch Description
IRIX 6.5.8f SG0004026 Fixes lost read events. Even t hough the feature release is not officially
supported, if you choose this release you m us t have this patch.
Solaris 7 Update

Maintenance update.
Includes nine patches.
YEAR 2000 COMPLIANT (CR #237)
When FileServ is running on Year 2000-compliant operating systems, including systems with
Y2K-compliant patches, FileServ is Year 2000 Option 1-compliant. Basically, this means that a year is
designated as a four-digit number, for example, 2000. (FileServ has been Year 2000-compliant since
Version 3.5.)
Operating Issues
fileserv -t -y LEAVES UNWANTED PROCESSES RUNNING (CR #921)
• Running
sysparm value configured in the $FS_TERMTIMEOUT_VALUE parameter. After FileServ terminates,
there may be unwanted processes still running. To check for these processes, type the following:
fileserv -t -y unconditionally exits after the number of seconds specified in the
# ps -elf | grep fs_
# ps -elf | grep fsadm
Look for processes that should not be running, and determine which ones need to be terminated.
fsloglevel COMMAND (CR #829)
•The
fsloglevel command does not affect all log messages. A more reliable method for changing
the logging level is to modify the FS_LOG_LEVEL variable in the $FS_HOME/sysparm/fs_sysparm
file.
www.adic.com
FileServ Version 4.3—600726 Rev A Page9 of 22
fspolicy COMMAND
• Running the
fspolicy -w command on a large (greater than 500,000 entries) file system can take
several hours to complete. If the fspolicy command is unable to store or truncate files, or if the
fspolicy command is killed or terminates abnormally, run fspolicy -w to rebuild the candidate
files.
GUI PERFORMANCE (CR #296)
• Before running another command in the GUI, select the <Dismiss> button and the remove the Status
Window. Performance problems may occur if this is not done.

Upgrading from FileServ Version 3.4.2 and Later
The Vista Database locking type was modified to use the IP locking mechanism. Therefore, to reinitialize
the transaction activity file, follow the steps below:
Step 1. Stop FileServ.
Step 2. Run
checkpoint.
Step 3. Install the latest versions of FileServ.
Step 4. Run $FS_HOME/util/buildtaf -i.
Step 5. Execute “D” option.
Step 6. Quit the program.
Step 7. Restart FileServ.
Upgrading from FileServ Earlier than Version 3.4.2
Changing to the new Vista Database caused some changes to the database definition (dbd) files in
existing FileServ sites. Therefore, to synchronize the database, follow the steps below:
Step 1. Stop FileServ.
Step 2. Run
Step 3. Run
Step 4. Install the latest version of FileServ.
checkDBAll to make sure no errors exist in FileServ database.
checkpoint.
Step 5. Change directory to
$FS_HOME/internal/fsdb and move each file with a .dbd extension to
the same name .dbd.old. There should be one fs1_#.dbd and fs5_#.dbd file for each file
system managed by FileServ.
cd $FS_HOME/internal/fsdb
mv fileserv2.dbd fileserv2.dbd.old
mv fileserv3.dbd fileserv3.dbd.old
mv fileserv4.dbd fileserv4.dbd.old
mv fs1_4.dbd fs1_4.dbd.old
mv fs5_4.dbd fs5_4.dbd.old
...
Step 6. Change directory to
mediadir_rec to “
DDL and modify the fs3.ddl file by changing the 4 “long” references in
a_u32_t”.
Step 7. If a fs2.ddl.sgi file exists, do the following:
mv fs2.ddl fs2.ddl.old
mv fs2.ddl.sgi fs2.ddl
Page 12 of 22 FileServ Version 4.3—600726 Rev A
www.adic.com
Step 8. Run the following commands shown below:
ddlp fs2.ddl
ddlp fs3.ddl
ddlp fs4.ddl
Step 9. Remove fileserv*.h; move fileserv*.dbd, and change directory:
rm fileserv*.h
mv fileserv*.dbd ..
cd ..
Step 10. Modify the "fs1.ddl" file as follows:
a) Find the "record fileattr_rec {" line
b) Modify the following line from:
char fadmhdl[64]; /* DMIG handle binary data */
to:
char fadmhdl[64][1]; /* DMIG handle binary data */
c) Find the "record dirdb_rec {" line
d) Modify the following line from:
char drdmhdl[64]; /* DMIG handle binary data */
to:
char drdmhdl[64][1]; /* DMIG handle binary data */
Step 11. Get the numbers for both the fileserv5 and fileserv1 databases to be regenerated by using
fs1_*.dbd.old.
For example, if fs1_4.dbd.old and fs5_4.dbd.old are returned the
number is 4. There should be one pair of these files for each file system associated with
FileServ. If the fs5_#.dbd.old file does not exist, make a note and do NOT run the
ddlp for the
fs5.ddl in Step 11 for this number (the fs1_4.dbd should still be run).
Step 12. For each of the numbers obtained above, modify the
the number to the current new number. For example, the
fs1.ddl and fs5.ddl files by changing
fs1.ddl file will have a line similar
to what is shown below:
ls
database fs1_5 {
It should be changed to:
database fs1_4 {
www.adic.com
FileServ Version 4.3—600726 Rev A Page 13 of 22
Continue modifying all _5 names to _4 (there should be 17 of them for fs1.ddl file and 14
in the
fs5.ddl file).
Step 13. Run both
fs1_#.dbd files. Be sure to skip the fs5_#.dbd files if the corresponding fs5_#.dbd.old file did
ddlp fs1.ddl and ddlp fs5.ddl commands to generate fs1_#.dbd and
not exist in Step 9.
Step 14. Repeat Step 12. and Step 13. for all the numbers obtained in Step 11.
Step 15. Run $FS_HOME/util/buildtaf -i. At the prompt, type D to do it.
Step 16. Start
lockmgr: lm_start.
Step 17. Run checkDBAll and validate that no errors exist.

Installing FileServ and AMASS on the Same Platform
Step 1. If you have FileServ and AMASS on the same platform, start the FileServ processes before
the AMASS processes (CR #1780).
Step 2. If the
autostart scripts are enabled for both FileServ and AMASS, run the FileServ
autostart sc ript before the AMASS autostart script. To accomplish this, assign a name to
the FileServ
example of the FileServ and AMASS
autostart script so it will start before the AMASS autostart script. An
autostart script names in the /etc/rc2.d directory is
shown below. In the example, the S95fileserv script will execute before the S99amass
script.
lrwxrwxr-x 1 root sys 25 Jan 16 08:58 S95fileserv -> /etc/init.d/auto_fileserv

• Initial release of FileServ on IRIX 6.5.6.
• Support for Solaris 2.6 has been put back in FileServ.
NEW DRIVE SUPPORT
• Additional drives supported by this release of FileServ include the following:
- Fujitsu M8100. Configure this drive as an IBM 3590B1A.
- Quantum DLT 8000. Configure this drive as a Quantum DLT 4000.
AUTOMATIC DRIVE CLEANING (#218)
• Automatic drive cleaning has been added for the following drives:
- Sony AIT-1 SDX-300 and AIT-2 SDX-500.
- Quantum DLT 4000, DLT 7000, and DLT 8000.
- IBM 3590B1A and 3590E1A.

CLEANUP BY DATACLASS (#391)
• A new
-c class option for cleanup (truncate) policies has been added to the fspolicy -t
command. The -c class option allows you to specify a DataClass to be invoked with the cleanup
policy.
IMPROVE PERFORMANCE (#382)
• All commands that map a file system or database have been modified to reduce memory
requirements and hence improve performance. These commands include
fsdump,andfsaddrelation. A new set of directories will be created under
$FS_HOME/internal/mapping_dir/dev_key.#, where # is an internal number assigned by
fspolicy (#398), fsaudit,
FileServ. The space required for the mapping files on disk is about 100 bytes per file and about 120
bytes per directory for all files managed by FileServ. For example, a file system with 100,000 files
and 5,000 directories, requires about 10.6Mb of space for the mapping files.

• FileServ no longer supports the following operating systems:
- Solaris Version 2.6.
- IRIX Versions 6.5, 6.5.2, and 6.5.3.
DRIVE SUPPORT
• Initial support of the drives below.To update the system parameters to reflect the proper capacity, see
“Update sysparm File with Media Capacity” on page 7 of these "Release Notes." and “Modify
IRIX Kernel for SONY DTF-2 Drive” on page 7 ofthese"ReleaseNotes."ofthese“ReleaseNotes.”

- IBM 3590E1A (CR #374).
DRIVE RETRY LOGIC (CR #370)
• Added drive retries because of media read errors.
WEB INTERFACE (CR #336)
• Support for a new HTML web interface for FileServ functionality. The web server provided with this
interface is Apache. For instructions on accessing this interface, see the
/fs/www/web.config.README file installed during the installation process.
- Security issues are summarized below:
> The following factors determine what FileServ functionality is available to users of the HTML
interface: (1) what user and group the httpd daemons are running as, (2) permissions on the
HTML executables, and (3) whether or not the HTML directories are password-protected.
> By adjusting the above factors, the system administrator has a lot of flexibility over how much
of the FileServ functionality can be made available with the HTML interface.
> By default, the HTML interface is not valid for commands that require root permission.
> All traffic sent via Apache, including passwords, are sent as plain text using SSL (Secure Socket
Layer), the industry standard encryption for web transmission. To provide security via SSL for
Apache, search the web for “SSL” or “Apache” information.
