You can now perform many management tasks by using a hand-held device running the iOS or Android operating systems.

Network Operations Center (NOC) Dashboard

The Network Operations Center Dashboard monitors and displays Novell Storage Manager activity. Its multiple monitoring regions help you track Novell Storage Manager activity, performance, and potential problems.

Integration with Novell File Reporter 2.0

Novell File Reporter 2.0 can report on the files and folders of the target paths of Novell Storage Manager 3.1 policies.

Cross-Empire Data Migration (Active Directory Version)

For file to file migrations, Novell Storage Manager now lets you resolve alternate namespaces and skip open files. New utilities let you identify and move all files that are new or that have been modified after a given date. You can also verify that all of the files you wanted to migrate from a source server have been migrated.

3.0 Known Issues

  • Novell Storage Manager 3.0.x components are not compatible with Novell Storage Manager 3.1 components. You must upgrade all Novell Storage Manager components in order to maintain connectivity between them.

  • NSMAdmin 3.1 cannot be co-located with NSMAdmin 3.0. This means that if you have a workstation with NSMAdmin 3.0 installed and you install NSMAdmin 3.1, the NSMAdmin 3.0 installation is overwritten.

  • From the Engine Status page, when you click to turn off Accepting/Processing Events and click Cancel, you cannot click them again to turn them off. You can click Engine Status again to refresh the panel and enable them again.
