Global Windows Share mode Support Provides for cross-client support for the Windows sharemode behavior supported by the Windows CreateFile API Most notable use case is shared access to Microsoft Office files Allows access for clients that do not have global sharemode support But no enforcement is done on those clients | Quantum Confidential
Global Windows Share mode Support Example Microsoft Word files Client 1 opens File.doc MS Word opens this file with exclusive read/write access Client 2 opens File.doc Client 2 receives a sharing violation Once Client 1 closes File.doc , Client 2 is allowed to open the file This is a feature of Windows/Office that customers have been asking for | Quantum Confidential
Global Windows Sharemode Support Notes This feature requires additional share mode tracking in the FSM and the Windows Clients Overhead is minimal but not zero Non-Windows clients to not interact with sharemode tracking Enabling this feature can trigger new sharing violations on windows systems If that impacts the customer workflow the feature can be disabled until the customer applications are fixed FSM reconnect synchronization During FSM failover the clients must all resynchronize their sharemode state. This can increase the client reconnect time depending on how responsive all of the clients are. | Quantum Confidential
Global Windows Sharemode Support Notes FSM reconnect synchronization During FSM failover the clients must all resynchronize their sharemode state. This can increase the client reconnect time depending on how responsive all of the clients are. The resynchronization will time-out if a client does not respond in time This could lead to a sharing mode conflict In that case the FSM will allow the conflict and log the issue in the cvlog | Quantum Confidential
