C
OMMANDS
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.
server-account
<server>
Specifies the login to be used to access the shares folder on the origin
file server for Version 3.x shares only.
server-password
<password>
Specifies the password to be used to access the shares folder on the
origin file server for Version 3.x shares only.
interval <seconds> Specifies the frequency of updates (synchronization) in seconds for
Version 2.x and 3.x shares.
•For a local mode the minimum is 60 seconds; there is no upper
limit.
• For broadcast mode the minimum is 1800 seconds; there is no
upper limit.
• The frequency is not applicable to standalone shares.
