Release Notes

SANworks Virtual Replicator

Disk Defragmenter does not work on SWVR
volumes
A portion of the Windows 2000 operating system related to disk
access does not function with SWVR managed disks. This
includes the disk defragmenter program included with Windows
2000.

LVM Defaults to Dynamic Disk

Microsoft Logical Volume Manager (LVM)prompts you to
upgrade to Dynamic disk type. Do not upgrade any Virtual
Replicator created disks to Dynamic type. Press Cancel and
manage your volumes.

Network Disks

The current NAS Executor E7000 implementation of SWVR
does not support network disks. Do not attempt to install this
feature on top of the NAS Executor E7000 image.

Lifeguard and Snapshots

Lifeguard is a service that deletes snapshots automatically when
the amount of pool space in a pool has been exhausted. The
Lifeguard service is a safety mechanism that prevents pool space
depletion. If the pool's snapshot space is depleted because of a
heavy load, blue screens and data corruption could occur. A
snapshot should therefore be viewed as transitory because it can
be deleted at any time without user notification. Refer to the
StorageWorks NAS Executor E7000 by Compaq Administration
Guide for details about the Lifeguard service.
