Tom,
Can you take a few minutes to talk to us about Atlanta and what we can expect? I've seen the RCs on the ftp site for a while now. Have ween seen any performance increases where it would really count? What about resolving some issues like the IOATDMA issue for 64 and 32-bit installs where it really should be working?
Thanks,
We are working to get this release out ASAP. Our hope is to release it this week and release notes provide what has been added. One notably improvement is when creating iSCSI Volumes it will create the Target for you if you select the option.
Some users are seeing performance improvements - see budys comments from this post.

Concerning the IOAT Intel drivers don't support I/O AT in the 32bit system any more, we don’t make the drivers. Now the new Atlanta release will default to 64bit mode so you should be able to use this feature. We only have in our labs the SSR212 systems to test with.
Will this be resolved with the new release?
• MPIO mode for the QLOGIC HBA FC does not work in the DEFAULT kernel. Please switch to the BACKUP kernel to use this mode.
Qlogic does not have the new drivers for the latest kernel so we are not able to make the driver. They only had it for kernel 2.6.17 we are now 2.6.27. So we are waiting for them. If anyone has contacts to Qlogic please push them.
Is there still a limit of only one active snapshot per logical volume for the 64-bit kernel? We have a customer now that uses 3 active snapshots for each of their 4 logical volumes, rotating so that they can access data about one week old.
We will increase the number of Snapshots for 64bit mode to 10 this next release.
The total number of snapshots is dependent on the LVM, but 255 is a safe
number. There are, however, definite limitations as to the number of ACTIVE
snapshots:
32bit system:
- 10 per LV
- 20 per system
64bit system:
- 10 per LV
- 20 per system

Correction!!!
In the next release for DSS comming out this Monday this will be increased to 10 per Logical Volume for 64bit mode.
will this be a safe upgrade for USB DOM users?
You mean the upgrade to the new version? If so we yes provided all the steps are done properly.
Tom, in this version the adaptec cli does not work. But the Adaptec Storage Manager does.
Send the logs to support so we can see whats going on. I will try to test with mine over the weekend.
Is this the release WITH SCSI-3 'persistent reservation' for Win 2008 Cluster ??
Where can I test/download the RC? FTP user/password?
Thanks!
regards,
Lukas
Not this release but the next one that is scheduled for later part of April.
When will the update be released and will the DSS see the update in the check for update downloader?
New version will be released in mid to late April and we will provide more details near that date as to how this will work as an upgrade as this will be a newer version.
I thought that one was coming out Monday?
I just DLed the new build. I am wondering as this has went into production on the 17th if there is more widespread use and what if any gotchas that i need to be aware of.
Thanks
Derek
Hi,
I'm testing the new Atlanta release with my supermicro server with Areca ARC-1261. Since this release I'm not able to access the Areca web interface (...:6666) via DSS interface ...?
Is this a known bug or is there a change in config neccessary?
regards,
Lukas
Hi pfefferl,
cant say anything about the ARC-1261 but we have tested it with the ARC-1680 and its functional.
Best Regards
OK, maybe a bug with the web proxy (Port 6666)?? I rebooted the server and then I go to H/W RAID, clicked on ...
Press "Areca" button to open Areca Management.
X Areca controller: ARC-1261; BUS ID
Mail alert configuration
... and it came the login box. OK! :)
Then I clicked on ...
Press "Areca" button to open Areca Management.
Areca controller: ARC-1261; BUS ID
X Mail alert configuration
... and there was an error (website unavaiable ...)
after that second try on the first/upper button -> same error :eek: !
Bad ... Reboot again, click on Areca controller: ARC-1261; BUS ID again and it works again ...
@open-e support: bug?
I have reproduced your error with the ARC-1680.
Same error !
Thanx! So I think it's really a new bug introduced by "atlanta" ... -> open-e, please fix.Quote:

The Areca ARC-1261 is not supported on our HCL :
http://www.open-e.com/service-and-su...re-raid/areca/
Please use this as a SATA controller and then use our SW RAID tool.
:mad: Sorry, no good answer! There is the ARC-1260 on the list (it's +/- the same like 1261 ...) and user "stardf" has the same error with ARC-1680 (on your HCL!) AND I used this controller with NO PROBS until "atlanta"! Our DSS is also a OEM system from an open-e partner, so I think the hardware is correct ...Quote:

Also we are checking on the email issue as well. Can anyone else test this with the Areca to confirm this?
OK, I sent the mail with log archive to support.
