What's New
Coverage
| • | BMC Performance Manager Express for NetApp v 2.7.03 has been enhanced to fully support the monitoring of the CIFS protocol (Common Internet File System). This protocol is the most commonly used by NetApp Filers for sharing files with Windows clients. The Application Class NetApp Filers - CIFS was added to the PM to report performance data on the CIFS protocol |

| • | Call Rate: total number of CIFS calls received. |
| • | Bad Call Rate: total number of received CIFS calls rejected |
| • | Get Attribute Operation Rate: total number of CIFS operations to get the attributes on a file or directory |
| • | Read Operation Rate: total number of CIFS Read operations on file or directory |

Changes and Enhancements
| • | The thresholds for the File System application class are now dynamically activated or deactivated for the Disk Space Information class. When the Total Capacity and Free Space parameters are equal to zero and the Status parameter is different from "Mounted", then, the thresholds for Free Space, Inode Count Used, Mirror Status and Percent Used are deactivated to prevent false alert. |
