Enabling Proxy File Service

 

This section describes how to enable and configure the Proxy File Service (PFS) for

 

the HP EFS WAN Accelerator. It includes the following sections:

 

‹ “Enabling PFS,” next

 

‹ “Adding PFS Shares” on page 102

Enabling PFS

You can enable and configure PFS support in the Proxy File Service (PFS) -

 

Configuration page.

 

 

 

NOTE: PFS is not supported on the Model 510.

 

 

PFS is an optional integrated virtual file server that allows you to store copies of files on the HP EFS WAN Accelerator with Windows file access, while creating several options for transmitting data between remote offices and centralized locations with improved performance and functions. PFS provides:

‹LAN access to data residing across the WAN.

‹Continuous access to files in the event of WAN disruption.

‹Simplified branch infrastructure and backup architectures.

In v3.0 you no longer need to install the HP EFS Remote Copy Utility (RCU) service on the server to synchronize your PFS shares—all RCU functionality has been moved to the HP EFS WAN Accelerator. When you upgrade from v2.x to v3.x all your existing shares will be running as v2.x shares. If you have legacy shares (that is, shares created with Version v2.x software), you can convert your v2.x shares to v3.x shares in the Management Console.

For detailed information about PFS and when to enable it, see the HP StorageWorks

Enterprise File Services WAN Accelerator Deployment Guide.

Enabling PFS support is optional.
