1.3.5 Cross-Protocole File Locking Change
Starting with OES 2 SP2, cross-protocol file locking (CPL) is enabled by default as follows:
All new servers with NCP installed have CPL turned on.
If an upgraded server was not configured for CPL priot to the upgrade, CPL will be turned on.
If an upgraded server was configured for CPL priot to the upgrade, the CPL setting
immediately preceding the upgrade is retained.
If a server is only accessed through NCP (AFP and CIFS are not installed), you can achieve an NCP
performance gain of about 10%. However, there is a critical caveat. If you later install AFP or CIFS
and you forget to re-enable CPL, data corruption can occur.
There are also obvious implications for clustering because the CPL settings for clustered nodes must
match. For example, if an unmodified OES 2 SP1 node is clustered with an unmodified OES 2 SP2
node, their CPL settings will conflict and one of the nodes must be modified.
