Out-of-Path, Static Cluster Deployment
An out-of-path, static cluster deployment is appropriate when an in-path deployment
is not an option. This deployment handles failures and scales to very high traffic levels.
The following figure illustrates a deployment where two HP EFS WAN Accelerators
are configured as out-of-path devices on the server-side of the network and there are
static clusters with in-path HP EFS WAN Accelerators on the client-side of the
network.
Figure 4-4. Static Cluster Deployment
Basic Steps
(Client-Side)
Perform the following steps for each HP EFS WAN Accelerator on the client-side of
the network.
1. Configure the HP EFS WAN Accelerators as in-path devices. For detailed
information, see the HP StorageWorks Enterprise File Services WAN Accelerator
Installation and Configuration Guide.
2. Connect to the Management Console. For detailed information, see the HP
Enterprise File Services WAN Accelerator Management Console User Guide.
3. Navigate to the Setup: Optimization Service - In-Path Rules page in the
Management Console.
4. Define fixed-target rules for the set of HP EFS WAN Accelerators in each cluster
of user sites. For example:
 In the Northern region, for all the HP EFS WAN Accelerators in the set, define
HP EFS WAN Accelerator 1 as the fixed target for servers in Subnet S.
