POLYCENTER AdvFS Utilities V3.0 for DEC OSF/1 Systems

HIGHLIGHTS

o  New graphical user interface for managing AdvFS file systems

o  Intuitive interface plus task oriented online help make V3.0 it easy to
   use

o  Supports DEC OSF/1 V3.0

PRODUCT DESCRIPTION

V3.0 of the POLYCENTER Advanced File System Utilities (SPD 44.52.xx) adds a
new graphical user interface and online help to this popular package. With
the new interface, system administrators can visually display and manage
their Advanced File System domains and filesets. Among the operations that
become very easy to carry out:

o  Create, show, and delete file domains.
o  Create, mount, and remove filesets.
o  Resize file domains (add and remove volumes).
o  Monitor free space and balance that space among volumes.
o  Show file fragmentation and defragment the files.
o  Identify situations needing attention, through colors in the display.
o  Display existing domains and filesets and display available volumes.

The Advanced File System can be used standalone or in conjunction with the
Logical Storage Manager (LSM). For example, users can build mirrored
(shadowed) volumes with LSM and assign them to Advanced File System domains.
The Advanced File System graphical user interface lists available volumes,
including those assembled with LSM. In addition, the LSM graphical user
interface provides an option for invoking Advanced File System operations.

The Advanced File System Utilities require the base Advanced File System,
which is included at no extra cost with the DEC OSF/1 operating system. V3.0
of the Advanced File System Utilities requires V3.0 of the base Advanced
File System, and both of those require and support DEC OSF/1 V3.0. Base
Advanced File System V3.0 contains the following new features: it allows a
running "root" (/) as an AdvFS file system; it supports multiprocessor
systems and NFS V3; and it offers various ease-of-use and performance
enhancements.

BENEFITS

The POLYCENTER Advanced File System and Advanced File System Utilities
provide a rapid-restart, online-reconfigurable file system supporting the
DEC OSF/1 operating system in a production systems environment. With the
Advanced File System, users no longer need to wait minutes or hours while
their file systems recover from a system failure. Nor do they need to bring
the system down in order to reconfigure their file system partitions,
defragment files, or clone a file system for hot backup.

The POLYCENTER Advanced File System and Advanced File System Utilities
complement Digital's other storage management and high availability
products: rapid restart decreases failover time in the DECsafe Available
Server environment; files can be migrated to POLYCENTER HSM optical storage;
and online resize complements the StorageWorks products. POLYCENTER Advanced
File System is launchable from the POLYCENTER NetView Manager.

AVAILABILITY AND ORDERING

POLYCENTER Advanced File System Utilities V3.0 will be available in
