Caused by Nessus, NMAP and internet attacks. --------------------------------------------------------------------- Corrected problems in version 5.38.1: ===================================== 5.38.1:1 Networksettings wizard: Some strange errormessages at communication problems, are corrected. 5.38.1:2 FileSystem: Corrupted volumenames, 8 hexdigits, should not occur anymore. 5.38.1:3 Netware/PureIP: Corrupted NCP/PureIP packets on the net could restart the StorPoint. Typically every 10 minutes with an XXX mailchecker on the net. 5.38.1:4 FileSystem: The data from some, larger than 4 GB, DVD's, could be corrupted when archived and ejected. 5.38.1:5 IP: Multiple names in the DomainName parameter, are handled correctly in DNS requests and eventmail sender. --------------------------------------------------------------------- New features in version 5.38: ============================= 5.38:1 Devices: Support for a number of new devices has been added For an up-to-date list of devices tested with the StorPoint, please see www.axis.com/techsup/cdsrv/storpoint_cdp/. --------------------------------------------------------------------- Corrected problems in version 5.38: =================================== 5.38:1 Server: Added Atlantic and Finland timezones. 5.38:2 Server: Domainname added to senders address in event mails. 5.38:3 CIFS/SMB: W2003 domain compatibilty. SP as client can use SMB signing. 5.38:4 FileSystem: Added the hidden parameter: [Server] PrioritizeCDUDF (yes/no), to handle CD's with ISO9660 and UDF but not Joliet. 5.38:5 IDE: Supporting HD's > 137GB. Max 2000GB and sum of HD's max 2000GB. --------------------------------------------------------------------- Corrected problems in version 5.37: =================================== 5.37:1 NetWare/PureIP: More reliable name resolution If the StorPoint encounters problems during name resolution then it tries to resolve the name through other servers in the NDS tree. 5.37:2 CIFS/SMB: Swapped UDP ports Some CIFS/SMB clients couldn't connect to the StorPoint because the source and destination UDP port numbers were swapped in name service response packets. 5.37:3 File System: Faster hard disk formatting Formatting of hard disks is now faster : 2-5 times for SCSI and about 1.3 times for IDE. 5.37:4 CD-R/RW: Improved CD writing stability 5.37:5 Web: Improved help pages. --------------------------------------------------------------------- Corrected problems in version 5.36: ===================================== 5.36:1 Ethernet: Network Speed field in statistics file The Network Speed field in statistics.txt now shows correct information regarding Full and Half Duplex mode. 5.36:2 FTP: Improved stability If the network load was very high, the StorPoint could eventually restart spontaneously when it was accessed through FTP. 5.36:3 NetWare: NDS authentication Sometimes the NDS server could not connect to the StorPoint because the authentication failed, for example when doing schema updates. 5.36:4 NetWare/PureIP: SLP scope names The StorPoint now handles SLP scope names containing spaces correctly. 5.36:5 Web: Improved Web interface security --------------------------------------------------------------------- Corrected problems in version 5.35.1: ===================================== 5.35.1:1 CIFS/SMB: Windows 2000 SP 3 domain controller issue Some users were given restricted access rights if the domain controller was running Windows 2000 Service Pack 3. For example, members of the Domain Admins group were not identified as such and were only given access rights of the default group Users. 5.35.1:2 CIFS/SMB: Error message after domain installation Immediately after completing the network installation wizard for Windows (SMB), an error message could appear in the event log, stating that no trust account existed for the StorPoint and a new network installation was necessary. This could happen if the StorPoint created its trust account on one domain controller, and immediately thereafter tried to logon to another one. --------------------------------------------------------------------- New features in version 5.35: ============================= 5.35:1 SNMP: SNMP can be disabled To disable (or re-enable) SNMP simply click the "Enable SNMP" checkbox on Network Settings : Detailed View : SNMP on the admin web pages, or edit the config.ini file, and restart the StorPoint. 5.35:2 NetWare/PureIP: Four SLP Directory Agents The StorPoint can now be configured to register its services in up to four SLP Directory Agents. 5.35:3 Macintosh/AFP over TCP/IP: Improved throughput AFP over TCP/IP throughput has been improved; in some cases dramatically so. --------------------------------------------------------------------- Corrected problems in version 5.35: =================================== 5.35:4 NetWare: Connecting to NDS in large NetWare environments The StorPoint could sometimes fail to connect to NDS in large NetWare environments with a highly partitioned NDS tree, making it impossible to authenticate connecting users. 5.35:5 NetWare/PureIP: SLP service registration updates could fail In some situations the StorPoint would stop updating a Directory Agent about its services. The services were then removed by the Directory Agent, and NetWare/PureIP clients could no longer locate the StorPoint on the network. 5.35:6 NetWare/PureIP: Multiple SLP scopes and Directory Agents The StorPoint will now correctly register its services in all SLP scopes it has been configured with. 5.35:7 CD-R/RW: Parameter memory becoming full When writing CD-R/RWs while running CIFS/SMB in user-level security, the memory used for storing parameters could eventually become full. A Factory Default restore on Volume Properties was necessary to clear the parameter memory. 5.35:8 CD-R/RW: Shared drive for CD-R/RW devices A problem with users' access rights and shared drive mode for CD-R/RW devices has been resolved. It is now possible to use the shared drive functionality with CD-R/RW devices. 5.35:9 Macintosh/AFP: Finder locks up due to AFP packet loss The Macintosh Finder application in MacOS 9.x often locks up when AFP reply packets for Finder are lost, which could happen in situations of continuous high load on the StorPoint. The risk of such a packet loss has been reduced, thus improving Finder's stability when working with the StorPoint. --------------------------------------------------------------------- New features in version 5.34: ============================= 5.34:1 CIFS/SMB: Support for Windows 2000 native domains When installed in a Windows 2000 domain, the StorPoint automatically joins Active Directory. Both native and mixed mode domains are supported. 5.34:2 NetWare: The StorPoint now supports NetWare 6 --------------------------------------------------------------------- Corrected problems in version 5.34: =================================== 5.34:3 NetWare: Bindery mode did not work correctly 5.34:4 NetWare: The volume list was not updated correctly The volume list presented to NetWare clients was not updated correctly when cached discs were deleted, group folders were removed, or a disc was replaced with one having the same name. 5.34:5 NetWare: Using the SLP Scope option in DHCP Setting the StorPoint's SLP Scope by using the DHCP SLP Scope option could cause stability problems. 5.34:6 NetWare/PureIP: Registering services in wrong SLP scope The StorPoint would in some situations register its services in the wrong SLP scope. 5.34:7 NetWare/PureIP: NDS could start prematurely In some NetWare PureIP environments, the StorPoint sometimes attempted to start NDS before service information could be gathered by SLP. NDS start-up would then fail and user authentication was not possible. 5.34:8 NetWare: Storing a large amount of access rights in NDS After adding a large number of trustees to different discs, which are then stored in the NDS tree, the StorPoint could lock up after a restart, when it tried to read back the trustees from the NDS tree. 5.34:9 NetWare: Browsing discs with thousands of directories Novell NetWare 3.x clients on Windows 9x sometimes failed to display the contents of a disc if it contained thousands of directories. 5.34:10 NetWare: NWAdmin could cause the StorPoint to lock up When accessing the StorPoint's SYS object using NWAdmin, the StorPoint could lock up and had to be restarted. 5.34:11 NetWare/IPX: Retransmissions were not handled correctly If NetWare Open File requests were retransmitted over IPX by a client, the StorPoint would allocate new resources for each retransmission. These resources were not deallocated since the client issues only a single Close File request. This could lead to resource exhaustion in situations of continuous high load. 5.34:12 CIFS/SMB: "Non-standard" NBT ports were not supported We now support CIFS/SMB clients that send NBT name service requests on ports other than the "standard" port used by Microsoft Windows. 5.34:13 NFS: A single file could sometimes be missing in a directory In rare occasions when listing the contents of a directory, the last file could be missing. 5.34:14 File System: Problems with shared drive functionality With the shared drive functionality enabled, users browsing one disc could sometimes see the contents of another disc. This could happen when discs were moved between shared drives or when partial caching or mirroring was enabled. 5.34:15 File System: ISO 9660/Rock Ridge symbolic links The StorPoint now supports symbolic links on Rock Ridge CDs. 5.34:16 Stability: Improved stability when network load is very high If the network load was constantly very high, the StorPoint could eventually restart spontaneously. 5.34:17 CD-R/RW: Clicking Cancel while writing a large file If writing a large file with Windows Explorer was cancelled the StorPoint could crash. 5.34:18 IDE: DMA for CD-R/RW devices could cause instability If DMA was enabled for a CD-R/RW device, writing with this device could cause the StorPoint to restart spontaneously. 5.34:19 IDE: Copying the contents of a CD to a CD-R/RW aborted Random read errors on the source CD could sometimes abort a copy of a CD to a CD-R/RW. Sometimes the same problem caused CD caching to abort if a CD-R/RW was written simultaneously. 5.34:20 SCSI: Mode setting for second bus for Dual SCSI products For Dual SCSI products, the mode of the second SCSI bus would default to, and remain at Ultra regardless of the setting of the first bus. Changes on bus A mode will now automatically cause bus B to change mode as well. 5.34:21 Disc Caching: New parameter AutoFormatEnabled By setting the new parameter AutoFormatEnabled to 'no' it is possible to prevent the StorPoint from automatically formatting the cache disks when errors are detected. Instead, the StorPoint will log any problems found. The parameter is accessible through config.ini. --------------------------------------------------------------------- Known problems in version 5.34: =============================== 5.34:22 File System: Shared drive for CD-R/RW device Problems with users' access rights can occur when enabling shared drive mode for a CD-R/RW device when running CIFS/SMB in user-level security. It is therefore not recommended to use the shared drive functionality with CD-R/RW devices. --------------------------------------------------------------------- Added features in version 5.33: =============================== 5.33:1 Devices: Support for a number of new devices has been added For an up-to-date list of devices tested with the StorPoint CD E100, please see www.axis.com/techsup/cdsrv/cd_e100/. 5.33:2 CIFS/SMB: Support for Microsoft Windows XP 5.33:3 NFS: Support for Red Hat Linux 7.x 5.33:4 IDE: DMA can be enabled for ATAPI devices It is now possible to enable DMA data transfers for ATAPI devices, i.e. CD-ROM, DVD-ROM, and CD-RW, from each device's configuration file. --------------------------------------------------------------------- Corrected problems in version 5.33: =================================== 5.33:5 CIFS/SMB and NetWare: File short names missed the extension When long filenames were shortened to 8+3 format, the file extension was lost, which caused some applications to fail, i.e. Access 97 on Windows 98. 5.33:6 CIFS/SMB: Changing file permissions in a Win2k domain When the StorPoint was installed in a Windows 2000 domain, changing file permissions from a Windows NT client could cause the StorPoint to crash. 5.33:7 NetWare: Empty server list in RCONSOLE Because the StorPoint's response to a SAP General File Service Query can be incomplete, the NetWare utility RCONSOLE could sometimes present an empty list of NetWare servers, if the StorPoint was first to reply to such a query. The StorPoint's response is now delayed, giving other NetWare servers a chance to reply first. 5.33:8 NetWare: Contacting the Directory Agent could fail In NetWare PureIP environments, the StorPoint would sometimes send SLP Service Requests to a multicast address instead of the unicast address of the registered Directory Agent. In routed networks, this could cause the NDS installation to fail. 5.33:9 NetWare: Some NDS tree names were rejected by the StorPoint The StorPoint's SLP Service Response parser would sometimes reject NDS tree names, causing the NDS installation to fail. 5.33:10 NetWare: Unmounted discs were still shown in the volume list The volume list was not correctly updated when discs were unmounted, or when archived volumes or Group Folders were deleted. A StorPoint restart was necessary to refresh the list of available volumes. 5.33:11 NetWare: Drive mappings could change path Drive mappings in NetWare could change path inexplicably when the user was changing the current working directory on that mapping. 5.33:12 AFP/AppleTalk: Authentication over Cisco routers did not work When the StorPoint and the AFP Authentication Server were connected over a Cisco router, authentication over AppleTalk did not work because the router did not forward the packets from the StorPoint to the Authentication Server. 5.33:13 Disc Caching: Balancing over multiple cache hard disks With two cache hard disks larger than 20 GB connected, one was filled, leaving the other one almost unused. 5.33:14 File System: High Sierra discs were not mounted The StorPoint did not recognize, nor mount High Sierra discs. 5.33:15 File System: ISO 9660 and Joliet discs with 1024-byte blocks It was not possible to mount ISO 9660 and Joliet discs with a block size of 1024 bytes. Only 2048-byte block sizes were accepted. 5.33:16 File System: Nameless ISO 9660 discs caused restarts When trying to mount an ISO 9660 disc without volume name, the StorPoint would restart. 5.33:17 File System: ISO 9660/Joliet discs with no root record name ISO 9660 and Joliet discs without a name field in the root directory record were not mounted by the StorPoint. 5.33:18 File System: Large directory structures could cause restarts The StorPoint could restart when a user browsed a CD with multiple directories that each contained about a 1000 files or more. 5.33:19 File System: The archived La Legge DVD was corrupt After archiving, some files on the La Legge DVD-ROM were corrupt or inaccessible. The bug was in the retrieval of the archived data so re-caching is not necessary. 5.33:20 File System: Aranzadi database DVDs were not cached properly Because the Aranzadi DVDs have a production fault, they were not cached correctly. 5.33:21 File System: The Legato Networker CD could cause restarts 5.33:22 CD-R/RW: The Recordable Discs password did not work properly The Recordable Discs password can now be set on the web pages, and it is not necessary to restart the StorPoint to activate it. 5.33:23 CD-R/RW: Finalized discs works properly in Windows 2000 now Since the UDF file system written to the disc by the StorPoint was not read correctly by Microsoft Windows 2000, UDF will no longer be included on the finalized disc by default. If you want to include UDF (along with ISO 9660 and Joliet) then set the `Finalize with UDF' parameter to `yes' in config.ini. 5.33:24 FTP: The FTP Time Out parameter did not work Because the FTP Time Out parameter did not work, FTP sessions not properly closed could prevent new user from logging in. 5.33:25 IP: Routing problem across subnets with differing subnet masks A client on a subnet with fewer bits in the extended network prefix than the subnet on which the StorPoint was situated could sometimes not communicate with the StorPoint. If the least significant bits of the client's IP number were all 1s, the StorPoint would erroneously interpret it as a broadcast address. 5.33:26 Telnet: The Telnet port has been closed 5.33:27 Ethernet: Reduced packet loss with full duplex devices Auto negotiation with full duplex devices, such as switches and routers, could sometimes lead to an erroneous port setting on the StorPoint, which led to packet losses and reduced throughput. --------------------------------------------------------------------- Known problems in version 5.33: =============================== 5.33:28 IDE: Some device configurations can show problems Some devices might not be identified correctly by the StorPoint in some configurations. This problem can often be circumvented by changing the configuration, for example by pairing two devices as master and slave instead of connecting them as two single masters, and/or by modifying the IDEBootDelay parameter, accessible in config.ini. 5.33:29 NetWare: The SLP Scope option in DHCP It is not recommended to give the StorPoint its SLP Scope setting using the DHCP SLP Scope option, as this may cause stability problems. --------------------------------------------------------------------- Added features in version 5.32: =============================== 5.32:1 CD/DVD Management: CD Grouping CDs and DVDs can be grouped in folders. The administrator can create new folders in the Volumes folder and sort CDs and DVDs by drag'n'drop using a file exploring tool. 5.32:2 CD/DVD Management: Discs can be renamed using a file explorer CDs and DVDs can be renamed using a file exploring tool. 5.32:3 File System: DVD-9 discs can be cached to hard drive DVD-ROMs larger than 4GB can now be mirrored or archived on the caching hard drive(s). 5.32:4 File System: DBCS filenames on ISO 9660 discs are supported ISO 9660 CDs using a Double Byte Character Set (DBCS) can now show the appropriate Asian-language file and volume names on the web and thru CIFS/SMB. 5.32:5 File System: All sessions on Macintosh discs are mounted All sessions on multisession HFS and ISO 9660/Apple discs are now mounted and accessible, and can be archived. 5.32:6 Performance: Enhanced overall performance * Opportunistic Locks allow clients to cache file data locally. * Writing very large files on CD-R/RW is much faster. * Improved performance for IDE CD-R/RW. 5.32:7 Web: Cache Mode dialog accessible from the Discs & Drives page The dialog for changing Cache Mode is now accessible directly from the Discs & Drives web page. 5.32:8 Web: Statistics page divided into sub-pages The Statistics web page has been divided into four or five (if a caching hard drive is connected) sub-pages. 5.32:9 Web: Files and folders are sorted on the web file view Files and folders are sorted alphabetically on the web file view, with all folders displayed first. 5.32:10 Web: Web pages are UTF-8 encoded Web pages that include file and/or volume names are UTF-8 encoded so that non-Latin characters can be displayed correctly. 5.32:11 NetWare: NDS rights can be stored locally in flash memory The NDS rights can now be stored locally in the StorPoint's flash memory. --------------------------------------------------------------------- Corrected problems in version 5.32: =================================== 5.32:12 File System: ISO 9660 Rock Ridge with deep directory structures Directories of greater depth than 8 levels on ISO 9660/Rock Ridge discs are now accessible. 5.32:13 File System: ISO 9660 directories with one-character names Directories on ISO 9660 CDs with one-character names were not always accessible. 5.32:14 File System: Joliet preference over ISO 9660/Apple On CDs containing both Joliet and ISO 9660 with Apple extensions file systems, Joliet is now mounted instead of ISO 9660/Apple. 5.32:15 CD-R/RW: Simultaneous multi-user writing CD-R/RW writing could sometimes fail when more than a single user wrote to a disc. 5.32:16 CD-R/RW: Plextor CD-RW 8/4/32 IDE wasn't reliable The IDE version of Plextor CD-RW 8/4/32 could fail during writing and finalizing of discs. 5.32:17 FTP: The FTP Time Out parameter didn't work The FTP Time Out parameter now works correctly, closing an open connection after a period of inactivity. 5.32:18 CIFS/SMB: NetBIOS session limit to a Terminal Server is raised Users logged on to a Terminal Server couldn't connect to the StorPoint because the NetBIOS session limit was exceeded. 5.32:19 CIFS/SMB: Parameters for domains with restricted anonymous login Parameters User Account and User Password (accessible from config.ini) can be used if the domain is configured to restrict access for anonymous logins. 5.32:20 Web: Axis Support Links didn't work The links to product pages and firmware version information on the Support page were not correct. --------------------------------------------------------------------- Corrected problems in version 5.31.1 ==================================== 5.31.1:1 NetWare: An empty volume list returned to the newest NetWare clients when having large number of mounted CDs The NCP command GetMountedVolumeList returned an empty list to the newest NetWare clients, if a large number of CDs were mounted. The number of volumes depended on their names, but it had to be at least 30. 5.31.1:2 NetWare: Browsing CDs with some NetWare clients when ShowAllVolumes parameter is set to 'no' The CDs could not be browsed below the second level of the directory structure when ShowAllVolumes parameter was set to 'no'. Now, the complete directory structure can be browsed. 5.31.1:3 SCSI: Teac CD-ROM drive recognition Teac CD-ROM drive CD-532S is now correctly identified as a CD-ROM without CD-RW capabilities. 5.31.1:4 CIFS/SMB: Listing/copying of some files in large directories Some of the files in a directory with large number of files have not been shown correctly. This problem is now corrected. 5.31.1:5 CIFS/SMB: Windows 2000 shareLevel - "NetBIOS session limit has exceeded" The error message "NetBIOS session limit has exceeded" appeared on Windows 2000 Professional clients when shareLevel security was used and more than 10 session have been established. This problem is now corrected and the correction might solve the similar problem in the Terminal Server environments. 5.31.1:6 CIFS/SMB: UserLevel security in Windows 2000 environments The StorPoint can now be accessed even when the userLevel security is used in a environment where a Windows 2000 Server is the domain controller. Note that the domain operation mode still has to be mixed. 5.31.1:7 SMB: OS/2 client compatibility problems When using userLevel security, OS/2 clients experienced some problems when accessing mapped resources from the OS/2 DOS prompt. This problem is now corrected. 5.31.1:8 File System: ISO 9660 - removing version numbers When the length of the version numbers in the file identifiers on an ISO 9660 volume differed from one, we didn't remove the version numbers from the file names. This resulted in strange suffixes in file listings and made the files on the volume inaccessible. 5.31.1:9 File System: Improved ISO 9660 Rock Ridge support In some rare occasions, browsing of a RockRidge CD was not possible. A correction for deeper directory structures on ISO 9660 Rock Ridge CDs makes this possible now. 5.31.1:10 File System: ISO 9660 - Directories with incorrect file type Browsing of CDs with a directory that identifies like a file is possible now. A PC allows this kind of inconsistency as well. 5.31.1:11 CD-R/RW: Multiple CD-R/RW drives and open discs When using two or more CD recorders, it is now possible to use multiple open CD-R/RW discs simultaneously. Previously, in some cases, only one of these was mounted correctly. 5.31.1:12 CD-R/RW: Wrong time stamps on files Time and date stamps on CD-R/RW files and folders are now correct. 5.31.1:13 CD-R/RW: Large files and folders containing a large number of files Large files (larger than 100MB) and folders containing a large number of files (more than 1000) could sometimes become corrupted if the disc was ejected and re-inserted without being finalized first. The file or folder would then appear as a zero-byte file. This problem is now corrected. --------------------------------------------------------------------- Added features in version 5.31: =============================== 5.31:1 IDE support Support for IDE devices has been added. A StorPoint CDE100 IDE is required to use the IDE support. 5.31:2 CIFS/SMB: Windows 2000 security Added support for Windows 2000 security permissions, block inheritance and selective inheritance. --------------------------------------------------------------------- Corrected problems in version 5.31: =================================== 5.31.3 NetWare: Lost PureIP connections Connections from PureIP clients were lost after a while of inactivity. 5.31:4 NetWare: Time Sync Source with server name Using a NetWare server name as time synchronization source did not work. This problem has been corrected. 5.31:5 NetWare/PureIP: Parameter default value The default value of the PureIPEnable parameter has been changed to 'No'. The parameter value in existing servers with 5.30 will not be changed (unless a factory default is performed). 5.31:6 Macintosh/AppleTalk: Address probing In some routed AppleTalk networks the server could get an invalid node address which made it inaccessible. 5.31:7 Macintosh/HFS: Multisession The first session on multisession HFS discs was mounted. Has been changed to mount the last session. 5.31:8 Macintosh/AFP: Long filenames Some Macintosh clients crash if a filename longer than 31 characters is received. Files with too long names are no longer returned over AFP. --------------------------------------------------------------------- Added features in version 5.30: =============================== 5.30:1 NetWare: Full NetWare 5 compatibility * PureIP, i.e. the server now has native support for NetWare over TCP/IP. IPX support can be used simultaneously or can be disabled completely. * SLP/DHCP/DNS, i.e. services are announced using SLP. NDS trees and servers are found with SLP and/or DHCP and/or DNS. Directory Agents and SLP scopes are supported. 5.30:2 File System: CD-R/RW support The server supports formatting of and writing to CD-R and CD-RW discs. Formatted discs can be closed with a standard ISO9660 header. For more details, consult the StorPoint User's Manual. 5.30:3 Macintosh/AFP: AFP authentication support Support for authentication of Macintosh clients. A Macintosh server can be setup to verify the user names and passwords of Macintosh users. 5.30.4 Macintosh/AFP: Mac security It is possible to set security for volumes in Macintosh networks. 5.30:5 Web: New Cached Disc view page All cached volumes can be seen from this page. It is also possible to delete cached volumes and archive mirrored volumes. 5.30:6 Configuration: New factory default options The new options are: no - No factory default is performed configuration - Server settings are reset (e.g. network settings) volumeProperties - Volume names, and access rights are reset all - All settings are reset to factory default and all hard drives are reformatted 5.30:7 CIFS/SMB/HTTP: Unicode support Support for unicode file names and directory names. This enables for example Japanese and Chinese CD-ROM:s to be used in the StorPoint and the file names will be displayed correctly. Note that volume names still must be in ASCII. 5.30:8 File System: Video CD (VCD) supported Video-CD:s can now be played from the StorPoint. They can also be cached to hard drive if needed. The performance sustains up to 30 simultaneous video streams. Note: Video CD is not the same as DVD Video (which is not supported) 5.30:9 Web/IP: New IP setting method It is possible to set the server's IP address using a Web browser in a Microsoft network (SMB) when using NBT. Please consult the new StorPoint user documentation for more details. 5.30:10 File System: DVD support The StorPoint now supports reading DVD-ROM:s larger than 4 GB. Caching of DVD:s larger than 4 GB is still not supported. For improved performance of DVD:s, we suggest enabling the file cache. This will cache the most commonly used files from the DVD. 5.30.11 File System: Number of cached discs The StorPoint can now cache up to 255 discs on up to 13 hard drives. 5.30.12 Ethernet: Full duplex support The ethernet interface has now enabled the support for full duplex. The functionality is automatically negotiated with the ethernet switches. --------------------------------------------------------------------- Corrected problems in version 5.30: =================================== 5.30:13 CIFS/SMB: Security permissions in Windows 2000 If security permissions were set with a Windows 2000 machine, the files were not accessible from Win9x. 5.30:14 CIFS/SMB: Invalid server names The SMB server name can now contain '_' and '-' as long as they are not the first or last character in the server name. 5.30:15 CIFS/SMB: Server name conflict The Windows configuration wizard was not working if another server on the network had the same name as the Storpoint. The Windows service within the StorPoint did not start. --------------------------------------------------------------------- Best regards Axis Communications AB
