Configuring PFS Using the Management

Console

The following sections provide the basic steps for configuring PFS for

Broadcast and Local mode using the Management Console.

Basic Steps for

Broadcast Mode

The following section describes the basic steps for configuring PFS in

Broadcast mode.

In Broadcast mode, the share originates on the origin server and a read-only

copy is available as a share on the HP EFS WAN Accelerator. The data is

updated periodically on the HP EFS WAN Accelerator with the data from the

origin server. You specify the frequency of updates (synchronization) when

you configure a share.

1. Install and start the HP EFS RCU on the origin server. (The HP EFS RCU is

automatically installed on the HP EFS WAN Accelerator.)

2. Configure the HP EFS WAN Accelerator as an in-path device. For detailed

information, see the HP EFS WAN Accelerator Installation and Configuration

Guide.

HP EFS RCU traffic from the HP EFS WAN Accelerator originates

through the Primary Interface. To ensure proper optimization of HP EFS

RCU traffic, make sure traffic from your Primary interface goes through

the same switch as your LAN interface. For detailed information, see the

HP EFS WAN Accelerator Installation and Configuration Guide.

3. Connect to the Management Console. For detailed information, see the HP

EFS WAN Accelerator Management Console User Guide.

4. Click the Setup tab to display the Setup: Optimization Service - General

Settings page.

5. Click Proxy File Service in the left menu to display the Setup: Proxy File

Service (PFS) - Configuration page.

6. Under Proxy File Service Configuration, type the domain name in the Fully

Qualified Domain Name/Realm text box.

IMPORTANT: The HP EFS WAN Accelerator host name must be in the DNS database

before it can join the domain. Host names with greater than 15 characters prevent the

HP EFS WAN Accelerator from joining the domain. Make sure your HP EFS WAN

Accelerator host name is less than 15 characters for PFS configurations.
