DESCRIPTION:  This softpaq provides a necessary patch for Persistent Storage Manager.


Enhancements/Fixes:

Update patch since last update offered -- PSM2278.

1. Fixed slowness issue in cluster environment:
When snapshots created, then all deleted, then volumes failed over to other node,
"My Computer" displayed volumes extremely slowly.  Now there is no perceptible delay.

2. Ported fix for NFS Virtual Server hang during heavy I/O.

3. Back-ported fix - Low stack was using worker threads as was NFS, so we would compete
for the same resources, causing a potential system hang when doing NFS client traffic. 
We now have our own thread we queue the requests to.

4. Fixed PSM not working for dynamic volumes (broken in earlier PSM build 2279).


HOW TO USE:


1. Create a directory on the client. Download the SoftPaq to that directory.
The file downloaded is a self-extracting executable with a filename 
based on the SoftPaq Number above.

2. Execute the downloaded file and follow the on-screen instructions. 
Press "SpaceBar" to confirm the unpacking of files into the download directory. 
A directory named after the softpaq will be created containing the files.

3. After the files have been unpacked, you may delete the self-extracting file 
downloaded in step 1.

4. To load the patch to the NAS, navigate to the SP30306 directory, right 
click on QCP22313.cab, and select extract if WinZip is installed or
open the cab file and select all files and then right click to extract.  
The files should be extracted to the c:\SP30306 previously created. After extraction, 
locate the file info.inf in the C:\SP30306 directory, right click on the file and select install.

5. After the installation is completed, you may delete the files unpacked in step 2.
The system requires a reboot after the install of the update.
