Control

 

Description

 

 

 

Server Settings

 

Server Policy. Select one of the following options from the drop-down list to configure

 

 

the default policy for NFS servers:

 

 

Global Read-Write. Specifies a policy that provides a trade-off of performance for

 

 

data consistency. All of the data can be accessed from any client, including LAN based

 

 

NFS clients (which do not go through the HP EFS WAN Accelerators) and clients

 

 

using other file protocols like CIFS. This option severely restricts the optimizations

 

 

that can be applied without introducing consistency problems. This is the default

 

 

configuration.

 

 

Custom. Enables you to turn on or off the root squash feature for NFS volumes from

 

 

this server.

 

 

Home Directory. All accesses to each directory are by a single user. This policy allows

 

 

aggressive caching of data and metadata.

 

 

 

 

 

Apply. Click Apply to apply your settings to the running configuration. (Apply your

 

 

settings to test a new configuration before saving them permanently.)

 

 

 

Default Volume

 

Enable Default Volume with Policy. Specify this option and select one of the following
