Microsoft SQL support (v1.1): You can configure an existing Microsoft SQL database to be used as the Filr database. For more information, see Section 5.3.2, Configuring an Existing Microsoft SQL Database Server.
Ability to add multiple NICs (v1.1): You can now add multiple Network Interface Controllers (NICs) for associating multiple networks with the Filr installation. For more information, see Section 4.0, Creating a Small Deployment or Section 5.0, Creating a Large Deployment.
Ability to add an additional disk for /var (v1.1): You can now add a disk to the appliance to store the /var directory. (The /var directory is where system events for the Novell appliances are logged.)
For more information about how to do this during installation, see Section 4.0, Creating a Small Deployment or Section 5.0, Creating a Large Deployment.
For information about how to do this after installation, see Modifying Logging Options
in the Novell Filr 1.1 Administration Guide.
Ability to perform a silent installation or upgrade (v1.1): You can now silently install or upgrade Filr. For more information, see Section A.0, Installing Novell Filr in Silent Mode.
Removed option on the MySQL appliance to store the secondary hard disk (/vastorage) on an NFS mount-point (v1.1): Prior to Filr 1.1, you had the option to store Hard Disk 2 (/vastorage) on an NFS mount-point. This option has been removed from Filr 1.1 because as a best practice, MySQL should not be accessed from an NFS server.
For more information about the type of data that is stored on Hard Disk 2 (/vastorage), see Section 1.2.2, Filr Storage Requirements.
Upgraded MySQL database (v1.1): The MySQL database that is used in the MySQL database appliance or in a small deployment has been updated to use MySQL Server 5.5.
In a small deployment, you must update the MySQL database on the all-in-one appliance, as described in Section 9.3, Backing Up the Filr MySQL Database to Prepare for the Upgrade.
In a large deployment where you are using the MySQL database appliance that ships with Filr, you must update the MySQL database appliance, as described in Section 9.3, Backing Up the Filr MySQL Database to Prepare for the Upgrade.
Moved Memcached from Filr appliance to Search appliance (v1.1): On a new Filr 1.1 installation, Memcached now runs on the Lucene search index appliance. When upgrading to Filr 1.1, it is recommended that you move Memcached from the Filr appliance to the Lucene search index appliance, as described in Section E.0, Moving the Memcached Service to the Search Index Appliance.
