The Disks & File Systems (fsweb) tool is the primary interface for File System and Disks system
administration tasks. The tool provides both web-based Graphical
User Interface (GUI) and Text User Interface (TUI). The Disks & File
Systems tool can be launched from the HP System Management Homepage
(HP SMH) and HP Systems Insight Manager (HP SIM). In the 11i v3
release, the tool can also be launched using the fsweb command.
The Disks & File Systems tool supports system administration
tasks, including management of logical volumes and volume groups,
disk management tasks, and file system tasks. The tool supports
these file systems: Cache File System (CacheFS), Compact Disc File
System (CDFS), Common Internet File System (CIFS), Hierarchical File
System (HFS), Network File System (NFS), and Veritas File System
(VxFS).
The Disks & File Systems tool is available on the
HP-UX 11i v2 (B.11.23) and HP-UX 11i v3 (B.11.31) Operating Environments.
It is not supported on Linux and Windows operating systems.
In the 11i v3 release, the Disks & File Systems tool
completely replaces the File System and Disks functional area in
the HP-UX Systems Administration Manager (SAM) application. HP SAM
is deprecated in the HP-UX 11i v3 (B.11.31) release. HP SMH provides
an extended graphical user interface (GUI) to manage the Disks and
File Systems tasks for HP-UX. For more information on the HP System
Administration and HP System Management Homepage, see the respective
sections in these release notes.
The name of the fsweb bundle is FileSystems. The FileSystems bundle is available
on the Operating Environment DVD and the Applications DVD. When
you install an HP-UX 11i v3 Operating Environment, HP recommends
that you install FileSystems.
Summary
of Change |

What’s
New for Customers Migrating from HP-UX 11i v1 September 2005?
The HP-UX 11i v1 (B.11.11) Operating Environments do not support
the Disks & File Systems (fsweb) tool. The Disks & File Systems (fsweb) tool is new for customers migrating from HP-UX 11i v1
(B.11.11) to HP-UX 11i v3 (B.11.31).
What’s
New for Customers Migrating from HP-UX 11i v2 June 2006?
The first release of the Disks & File Systems (fsweb) tool was in the HP-UX 11i v2 (B.11.23) December 2005
release. The differences between the first release and the HP-UX
11i v3 (B.11.31) Enterprise Release are as follows:
A new Text
User Interface (TUI) replaces the legacy SAM interface.
Supports use of the fsweb command to directly launch the Disks & File
Systems (fsweb) tool.

stack
Provides additional Logical
Volume Manager (LVM) support
Provides Volume Group (VG)
Distribute and Undistribute functionality for Service Guard support
Provides Disk Operations
such as setting and displaying disk attributes, setting the view
for a mass storage stack, viewing disk statistics, and setting the
disk device ID.
Supports localized version
of the tool in different European and Asian languages.
Impact |
|
The 11i v3 release provides significant performance improvements
over SAM, better reliability, ease of use, improved visualization,
command preview, and new features.
Compatibility |
|
The known compatibility issues are as follows:
In 11i v3 a
new Text User Interface (TUI) is provided in place of the legacy
SAM. In the TUI the tasks are available under different headings
such as Disks, Volume Groups, Logical Volumes, and File Systems.
This means, unlike in the legacy SAM, the user must perform each
task separately by navigating to the appropriate heading. For example,
in the legacy SAM, the user could navigate to Disks and create volume
groups, logical volumes and even file systems. In the new TUI, the user
must navigate to Volume Groups to create a volume group, navigate
to Logical Volumes to create a logical volume, and so on.
Disk Array maintenance is
not supported in this release of 11i v3.
Hot spare administration,
Convert vg to vxvm disk group, and Replace Hot Pluggable Disk are
not supported.
Configuring Swap functionality
is not supported.
