The software continues to support either model. • This release supports a smaller base configuration. The smallest system now comprises two performance blocks (server blades) and one capacity block (array). • When a 64 TB filesystem is created, the system now stripes the psv over all the LUNs. This improves performance of such filesystems. The exdsmgr show filesystems command now shows whether a filesystem is striped or not. • It is now possible to specify several export options using the exdsmgr create vnfs command. The options= argument now accepts several space-separated options enclosed in double quotes. HP StorageWorks 9100 Extreme Data Storage System release notes 3

HP StorageWorks 9100 Extreme Data Storage System versions 1.0 and 1.0.1
Contents of the 1.0.2 release
HP ExDS9100 systems manufactured after June 2009 contain Virtual Connect 1/10Gb-F modules
instead of the previous Virtual Connect modules. The software continues to support either model.
This release supports a smaller base configuration. The smallest system now comprises two per-
formance blocks (server blades) and one capacity block (array).
When a 64 TB filesystem is created, the system now stripes the psv over all the LUNs. This improves
performance of such filesystems. The
exdsmgr show filesystems
command now shows
whether a filesystem is striped or not.
It is now possible to specify several export options using the
exdsmgr create vnfs
command.
The
options=
argument now accepts several space-separated options enclosed in double quotes.
