Novell File Reporter 1.0.1 Released Today

It was just a little over three months ago that we introduced Novell File Reporter 1.0 during the launch of the Novell File Management Suite. Following the release, we immediately set to work on making Novell File Reporter be able to report on the file-based data stored on NAS devices in Active Directory and file-based data in server clusters in eDirectory and Active Directory. Released today, Novell File Reporter 1.0.1 does this through the introduction of proxy agents that work in conjunction with NFR Agents.

If you have Novell File Reporter in a network environment with Novell Storage Manager, you will need to update to Novell File Reporter 1.0.1 as well as the new Novell Storage Manager 2.5.2 (also released today) to utilize proxy agents.

 You can read how to set up proxy agents for reporting on EMC Celerra or NetApp NAS devices by reading the new Chapter 8 in the Novell File Reporter 1.0.1 Installation Guide. To read how to set up reporting in server clusters, read the new Chapter 9.

 Both updates also include bug fixes which are detailed in the Novell File Reporter 1.0.1 Release Notes and the Novell Storage Manager 2.5.2 Release Notes.
