Changes and Improvements
| • | Performance has been improved to support large number of Veritas File Systems. |
| • | Look and feel: The Veritas File System KM better matches the look and feel of other High-Availability KMs (Veritas Volume Manager & Veritas Cluster Server) |
| • | Monitoring Features: Quota monitoring now covers group and checkpoint level quotas. |
| • | The delay required to perform a discovery following an Agent restart has been substantially reduced. |
Application Classes
| • | The following classes are no longer available: VFS_CONTAINER, VFS_FS_CONTAINER, VFS_FILESYSTEMS, VFS_KERNEL, VFS_QUOTA_USERS, VFS_SNAPSHOT |
Parameters
| • | The following parameters were removed since they only covered Solaris Platforms when VxFS file systems laid out on native disk partitions: VFSActiveServiceTime, VFSActiveTransactions, VFSBusyTimePercent, VFSWaitQueueServiceTime,VFSWaitTimePercent, and VFSQueueLength. |
| • | The following parameters were removed: VFSCurrentMountPoint, VFSMountStatusText, VFSConfigDetails, and VFSVolumeName. Information is now available in the InfoBox of the VFS_FILESYSTEM application class, respectively in the "Mount Point Current", "Mount Status", "Options", and "Volumes" fields. |
| • | The VFSSize, VFSFragmentation, and VFSQuotaPolicy parameters were removed since they are respectively covered by the VFSFileSystemSummary, VFSFragmentationSummary, and VFSQuotaSummary parameters. |
| • | The following parameters were removed since they are no longer required for monitoring: VFSInodeAttributes, VFSIntentLogStatus, VFSJournalStatus, VFSReadIORate, VFSServiceTime, VFSInodeSize, VFSInodeText, VFSVnodeAttributes, and VFSWriteIORate. |
| • | The following parameters were modified: |
| ▪ | VFSBlockPercentUsed: replaced with VFSQuotaSpaceUsedPercent |
