HP StorageWorks Enterprise File Services WAN Accelerator 3.0.4 Command-Line Interface reference manual (AG421-96004, March 2007)

142 4 - CONFIGURATION-MODE COMMANDS
mode <mode> Specifies the mode:
• broadcast. The share originates on the origin server and a read-
only copy is available as a share on the branch-office HP EFS WAN
Accelerator. The data is updated periodically on the HP EFS WAN
Accelerator with the data from the origin server. You specify when
and how frequently updates (that is, synchronization) are to occur
and when you configure a share.
IMPORTANT: For Broadcast mode: if you are performing directory
moves regularly (for example, mv ./dir1/dir2 ./dir3/dir2),
incremental synchronization will not reflect these directory changes.
You must perform a full synchronization more frequently to keep the
PFS shares in synchronization with the remote site.
IMPORTANT: While performing a incremental synchronization for
Broadcast mode share, if files are deleted on the server, they are not
deleted on the HP EFS WAN Accelerator.
• local. After the HP EFS WAN Accelerator receives the initial copy,
new data generated by clients is periodically synchronized to the
origin server. The folder on the origin server essentially becomes a
back-up folder of the share on the HP EFS WAN Accelerator. Users
must not directly write to this folder on the origin server. You
specify the when and how frequently updates (that is,
synchronization) are to occur and when you configure a share.
CAUTION: In Local mode, the HP EFS WAN Accelerator copy of
the data is the master copy; do not make changes to the shared files
from the origin server while in Local mode. Changes are propagated
from the remote office hosting the share to the origin server.
NOTE: If you have shares that were created with v2.x of the HP EFS
WAN Accelerator software, the account that starts the RCU must
have write permissions to the folder on the origin file server.
NOTE: PFS does not support non-domain accounts other than
Administrator accounts. If you create Local mode shares on a non-
administrator account, your security permissions for the share will not
be preserved on the origin server.
• standalone. Provides the branch-office HP EFS WAN Accelerator
with a one time working copy of data mapped from the origin
server. You can specify a remote path to a directory on the origin
server, creating a copy at the branch-office. This data is not
synchronized back to the origin server. The stand-alone share is an
initial and one-time only synchronization.
remote-path
<remote path>
Specifies the remote path of the origin file server where the share
resides. You must use the Uniform Naming Convention (UNC) for
the mapped drive for Version 3 shares. For example, \\<origin-file-
server>\<local-name>
IMPORTANT: The PFS share and the origin-server share name
cannot contain Unicode characters. The HP EFS WAN Accelerator
Manager does not support Unicode characters.
NOTE: If you created your share with v2.x software, this value
represents the name of the Windows server where the HP EFS
Remote Copy Utility (HP EFS RCU) is running. If the origin server is
not the RCU server, you specify the remote path using the UNC
format for the mapped drive. If the origin server is the same as the
RCU server then you must type its full path including the drive letter,
for example C:\data
.
server-name
<name> port <port>
Specifies the server and port located in the data center which hosts the
origin data volumes (folders).
