After you have configured your PFS shares, you must perform the initial synchronization and enable your shares in the Proxy File Services (PFS) - Shares Details page.

When you perform the initial synchronization of the share, a copy of the data is downloaded from the origin server to the HP EFS WAN Accelerator. The HP EFS WAN Accelerator also configures the share for automatic synchronization according to the parameters you specified previously.

When you enable sharing for the first time, the share is made available to users for mounting. Users can map the mounted share using standard Windows mapping procedures. For example, map a network drive using the following format:

\\<appliance name or primary interface IP address>\<name of share>

1.Click the Setup tab to display the Setup menu.

2.Click Proxy File Service to expand the PFS menu.

3.Click Shares to display the Proxy File Service - Shares page.

4.Click the Local Name of the share that you want to initialize or synchronize in the Shares list to display the Proxy File Service (PFS) - Shares Details page.
