Control

Description

 

 

Add a Prepopulation Share

Enable/Disable. Click Enable to enable prepopulation on the share; click Disable to

 

disable prepopulation on the share.

 

 

Transparent Prepopulation Using

Enable Transparent Pre-population Support. Specify this option to enable transparent

the RCU

pre-population using the HP Copy Utility (RCU).

 

To enable transparent pre-population using the RCU, you must install and run the RCU

 

on the client and server. Because the data has already been copied to the client and server,

 

the HP EFS WAN Accelerator only copies new data, increasing optimization of traffic

 

across the WAN. The RCU is available for download from the HP Technical Support site

 

at http://www.hp.com.

 

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

 

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

 

Save. Click Save to save your settings permanently or click Reset to return the settings

 

to their previous values.

 

 

Prepopulation Shares

Remote Path. The path to the data on the origin server or the Universal Naming

 

Convention (UNC) path of a share to which you want to make available for

 

prepopulation. For example,

 

\\<origin-file-server>\<local-name>

 

NOTE: Do not use guest or anonymous access to a Samba share. Also, the share and the

 

origin-server share name cannot contain Unicode characters. The Management Console

 

does not support Unicode characters.

 

 

 

Account. The local administrator account used to manage prepopulation shares.

 

 

 

Password/Password Confirm. Specify a password. You must use the correct syntax for

 

the administrator login name (for example: admin_user@parent_realm) even if you

 

belong to a subdomain.

 

 

 

Comment. Specify comments to help you identify the share.

 

 

 

Sync Schedule Date and Time. Specify a date and time to schedule synchronization of

 

prepopulation shares with the HP EFS WAN Accelerator. The share conducts automatic

 

synchronization with the origin server based on the synchronization interval.

 

The first synchronization, or the initial copy, retrieves data from origin file server and

 

copies it to the local disk on the HP EFS WAN Accelerator. Subsequent synchronizations

 

are based on the synchronization interval.

 

 

 

Sync Interval. Interval of updates (synchronization) in minutes. After the initial

 

synchronization, the HP EFS WAN Accelerator retrieves data from the server at every

 

synchronization interval. In these subsequent synchronizations, only new data that was

 

modified or created after the previous synchronization is sent from file server to HP EFS

 

WAN Accelerator.
