What's new in Solaris Host Utilities 8.0
-
Solaris Host Utilities 8.0 introduces the
disksort:falseandcache-nonvolatile:trueparameter settings. These parameters suppress constant sync calls from the host. The sync calls impact performance and aren't required because ONTAP doesn't have volatile cache. For more information, see Cache Flush Behavior for Flash and NVRAM Storage Devices. -
Solaris Host Utilities 8.0 supports automated updates for FC drivers. The FC drivers that bind the parameters for Solaris 11.4 use SCSI disks. For more information, see the Oracle Support Doc ID 2595926.1.
