Hi all, Just a quick note to let you all know that SFM 1.1 has now been officially released! You can download it from www.symantec.com/sfm
Also on the SFM page is details of the "Best new idea for an add-on" competition. The Grand Prize is a trip for two to San Francisco, CA. This includes spending money, airfare, hotel, a Linux server, and the possibility that your idea will be released as a Veritas Storage Foundation Manager Add-on. The runner up prizes are $500 gift certificates to Apple Computer. See below for information regarding add-ons Details about Storage Foundation Manager Major Features * Centralized management across different applications, operating systems, servers and storage arrays. * Centralized reporting and alert notification on data center infrastructure. * Over 250 guided operations to enable repeatable administrator processes. * Centralized volume mirroring and replication administration and reporting for a single view of protected applications. Key Benefits * A single view of data center infrastructure from applications to storage. * Transparency across data center infrastructure with consolidated reporting on state of storage resources. * Rapid problem resolution with quick discovery of the origin of faults and the ability to take corrective action. * Improved operational efficiencies. What's New in SFM 1.1 * Simplified Installation * Includes support for up to 3,000 managed hosts * Introduction of Add-ons. * Add-ons are features that can be easily deployed from within the product and provide new functionality without requiring a full upgrade of the product. Each add-on can be deployed (or not) independently from other add-ons. * Once SFM is installed navigate to the Add-Ons tab then select the Add-on's link in the left hand pane. * The first add-on is the Dynamic Multi-Pathing (DMP) Add-on, which reduces the complexity of managing thousands of I/O paths, allowing administrators to centrally enable/disable DMP on multiple hosts simultaneously. * In the coming months there will be a Volume Migration Add-on which will allow for the migration of data from one array to another. This could be all hosts attached to an array, a group of hosts, or just a disk group or volume. System Requirements and documentation is available at www.symantec.com/sfm Note to the Storage Foundation for Windows (SFW) users We will be introducing support for visibility of Storage Foundation for Windows (SFW) in the coming months. Full administration will be available in the first quarter of 2008. If you are interested in testing this feature please contact me directly.
