Hewlett-Packard Software Product Description ___________________________________________________________________ PRODUCT NAME: HP Disk File Optimizer SPD 55.85.15 for OpenVMS,Version 3.0 DESCRIPTION HP Disk File Optimizer (DFO) for OpenVMS is a layered software prod- uct which reduces both file fragmentation and free space fragmenta- tion and optimizes file placement on disk media. This results in bet- ter application performance, better backup performance, and more ef- ficient disk utilization. DFO operates in two modes. In "Defrag PLUS" mode, RMS is used as a database of scheduling information, and defragmentation jobs can be scheduled using a wide variety of scheduling criteria. In normal "Defrag" mode, defragmentation jobs are run when requested by the user. The user or system manager can specify which of these two modes should be used when the product is installed. The key capabilities of DFO for OpenVMS are: o Defragments large capacity disk that was earlier limited to a smaller capacity disk on OpenVMS Integrity Servers and Alpha o Reduces file fragmentation and free space fragmentation for disk devices o Provides the ability to defragment specific files or an entire disk o Gives the user the capability to select or exclude specific files based on: - User choice - Severity of fragmentation June 2007 - Whether the file has placement pointers - Whether the files are indexed o Provides event based scheduling of defragmentation jobs o Provides a Monitor function which allows File Optimizer processes to be monitored while in operation o Allows pre- and post-processing commands to effect automation of tasks before and after defragmentation jobs are executed o Gives the user the ability to classify files as "hot" (frequently accessed), or "cold" (infrequently accessed) and to have them placed on the disk drive accordingly o Provides two modes of operation to tailor to the specific customer environment o Offers a choice of Digital Command Line (DCL) or Motif-based Graph- ical User Interfaces. This is available for both Defrag and Defrag PLUS modes. o Provides an offline defragmentation utility that allows the user to defragment INDEXF.SYS on a disk device that is not mounted. For a bound volume set this utility only works on the "ROOT" volume. CLUSTER ENVIRONMENT HP Disk File Optimizer qualifies defragmenting disks connected to Open- VMS Integrity server, Alpha or VAX machines from any qualified Integrity server, Alpha or VAX machine. It is fully qualified when installed on any valid and licensed VMScluster* configuration without restrictions. The HARDWARE REQUIREMENTS section of this product's Software Product Description details any special hardware required by this product. *VMScluster configurations are fully described in the VMScluster Soft- ware Product Description (29.78.xx) and include CI, Ethernet, and Mixed Interconnect configurations. 2 HARDWARE REQUIREMENTS DFO is a layered software product on the OpenVMS operating system for Integrity server, Alpha, and VAX hardware platforms.
