Advanced file system benefits
- Reboot in seconds - no matter how large the file system, transaction
journaling ensures quick recovery from unexpected events, such as
power failure.
- Flexible configuration - Volumes can be a single disk partition,
an entire disk, or an aggregated volume. Multiple filesets can share
a common pool of storage.
- Mirroring for availability - Supports Compaq Logical Storage Manager
software, so you can create and monitor mirrored volumes
Advanced file system utilities benefits
- Reconfigure online - Lets you transparently reconfigure file systems
without disrupting users or applications.
- Reconfigure to meet your needs - You can add and remove volumes
as needed. When you remove a volume, AdvFS automatically migrates
files to remaining volumes without interruptions.
