On the other hand, I believe HP's CIFS-for-VMS product isn't available for VAXen, or on VMS versions earlier than 7.3-2 .... so if you've got one of those platforms (more common than you might think) then you have to stick with JYC Samba. Someone please let me know if I'm wrong :) Nick Boyce EDS ASFO EMEA, Bristol, UK -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Aravinda Guzzar Sent: 09 May 2008 05:58 To: Michael Ober Cc: [email protected] Subject: Re: HP CIFS vs JYC SAMBA 2.2.8 Hi Mike, yes there are lots of benefits migrating from 2.2.8 to the latest version of CIFS on VMS. It is been qualified on the latest hardware of Itanium and Alpha, with the latest OSes. There is support for VMS specific file formats viz. Varaible Length formats, StreamLF and supports ODS2 disks also. It is been qualified on the clusters also. So you will get the benefit of the clusters. Please note that you need to have the latest CRTL patches. before you migrate and as a suggestion please test the software on your test hardwares, and convince yourself before migrating to the production.
