TIP: If you modify share information in the Shares List, click the magnifying glass for
the share you want to modify to display the Proxy File Services - Shares - Detailed
Settings page. Modify the data and click Update Shares to refresh the Shares list with
your changes.

new configuration to memory. If you do not save your configuration
changes to memory, your defined proxy-file shares will become orphaned.
Orphaned shares must be reconfigured to be synchronized.
Basic Steps for
Local Mode
The following section describes the basic steps for configuring PFS in Local
mode.
In Local mode, the share originates on the HP EFS WAN Accelerator and is
backed up to either a non-shared directory or a directory that is shared on a
read-only basis. 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 and it has read-only permissions; as
such, users cannot directly write to this folder.
For Local mode, make sure that the target directory on the origin server is
either not shared or is only shared as a read-only folder.
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. Navigate to the Setup: Proxy File Service - Configuration page.
