124 13 - TROUBLESHOOTING DEPLOYMENT PROBLEMS
For more information on two- and four-port HP EFS WAN Accelerators, see the
Bypass Card Installation Guide.
Problem: Old Anti-Virus Software
If, after installing HP EFS WAN Accelerators, application access over the network
does not speed up or certain operations on files (such as dragging and dropping files)
speed up greatly but application access does not, it could be due to old anti-virus
software installed on a network client.
Solution:
Upgrade
Anti-Virus
Software
If it is safe to do so, temporarily disable the anti-virus software and try opening files.
If performance improves with anti-virus software disabled, HP recommends that you
upgrade the anti-virus software.
If performance does not improve with anti-virus software disabled or after upgrading
anti-virus software, contact HP Technical Support at www.hp.com.

Problem: Packet Ricochet
If network connections fail on their first attempt but succeed on subsequent attempts,
it could be due to packet ricochet. You should suspect packet ricochet if:
 The HP EFS WAN Accelerator on one or both sides of a network has an in-path
interface that is different from that of the local host.
 There are no in-path routes defined in your network.
 You experience packet ricochet symptoms. Symptoms of packet ricochet are:
 Connections between the HP EFS WAN Accelerator and the clients or server
are routed through the WAN interface to a WAN gateway, and then they are
routed through an HP EFS WAN Accelerator to the next-hop local area
network (LAN) gateway.
 The WAN router drops SYN packets from the HP EFS WAN Accelerator
before it issues an Internet Control Message Protocol (ICMP) redirect.
Solution: Add
In-Path Routes
To prevent packet ricochet, add in-path routes to local destinations, as described in the
HP Enterprise File Services WAN Accelerator Management Console User Guide.
