File Migration Agent administrator guide 109
5 Best practices
Create a new HP StorageWorks File Migration Agent (FMA) archive
FMA archive configuration for a Windows archive
Prerequisites
For archiving data to a Windows-based HP StorageWorks File System Extender (FSE) Archive, the GDS
FTP-Server needs to be set up on the FSE Archive as described in ”Using GDS FTP-Server” on page 135.
The GDS FTP-Server comes with its own user management facilities. Therefore, the FTP authentication
process is completely controlled by the GDS FTP-Server and no Windows domain user account needs to be
created for the FTP client access.
Because the GDS FTP-Server runs as a Windows service, user access to the FTP server’s home directory
can be restricted to designated administrators of the domain.
The absolute path to the archive directory is composed of the root directory, which is specified in the
configuration file ftp_server.cfg of the GDS FTP-Server, and the root path set up in the FMA’s RSA-FTP
configuration dialog. If a root path is defined on the client side (FMA), the administrator needs to create
this subdirectory during the GDS FTP-Server configuration.
The absolute path to the archive directory in the following example should be:
c:\fsefs1\data1\fma
Example of the GDS FTP-Server configuration file ftp_server.cfg file
[default]
RootDirectory = c:\fsefs1
Port = 21
UserFile = C:\program files\Hewlett-Packard\FTPServer\GDSFtpServerUsers
LogFile = C:\program files\Hewlett-Packard\FTPServer\GDSFtpServer.log
