In the new version of the system management functions are mainly the following improvements, this article will be introduced in one.
1, the Unified Network Service function enhances;
2, monitoring and statistical function improvement;
3, FIPS 140-2 Security support.
Unified Network SERVICE function improved
The Unified Network Service (UNS) integrates CS and SP Basic Network services to provide a VNX network service that supports a unified platform for files and blocks of data, and VNX updates to the Unified Network Service (UNS) in the new version are mainly as follows:
· Supports up to 4 NTP servers
· Support for IPV6, host name, or fully qualified domain name (FQDN)
· The block side supports DNS functionality,
· Supports 3 IPv4 or IPV6 DNS servers
· Join host name resolution commands, such as ISNS, NTP, Ping, traceroute, and LDAP servers.
· Certificates are shared by all nodes
· Support for nested groups (nested groups)
· "Domain name" is required for SSH logins using LDAP
Monitoring and statistical Function Improvement Section
Continuous monitoring enables administrators to quickly identify emerging performance and reliability issues, and by viewing history and trend information and reports, administrators can view VNX Health, provide proactive diagnostics, and quickly resolve problems.
Monitoring capabilities are enhanced in the new version. By default, the VNX system automatically monitors CPU usage, memory usage, and I/O latency for all File system NFS, and administrators can set KPI metrics, and when the system reaches the threshold of these KPIs, the system can perform logging, monitor specific time periods, Send a message or send an SNMP trap, and so on.
As for the statistical function, the VNX new version of the I/O real-time statistical information function has been enhanced, but also provides some additional statistical functions, the specific features as shown in the following table:
| Index |

FIPS 140-2 Security Support
FIPS is a security standard developed by the National Institute of Standards and Technology, which addresses the requirements of the U.S. government for interoperability of different systems, portability of data, and computer security. Support FIPS 140-2 security standards in the new version of Vnx.
