storage resources.
Two new RAID configuration options are available:
• RAID 6 provides a dual parity RAID for additional
redundancy and data protection.
• RAID 10 stripes RAID 1 mirrors for high data protection
and increased performance.
Support for NFS v4 has been added, providing a
connection-based protocol for NFS users, with elimination
of ancillary protocols, single port accessibility, new file
system view, and improved network management.
Note
Kerberos-based security and NFS v4 ACLs are not
supported in this release of GuardianOS.
Over 30 additional commands have been incorporated into
the SnapCLI, increasing the ability to perform
configuration tasks using the CLI or CLI scripts.
With Home Directories enabled, users are provided with
their own private directory and (for SMB, AFP, NFS, and
HTTP) user-specific share, to which only they and the
system administrator have access.
Two additional Load Balancing options have been added.
Switch Trunking and Link Aggregation group multiple
physical Ethernet links to create one logical interface,
providing high fault tolerance and fast performance
between switches, routers, and servers.
