HP StorageWorks EFS WAN Accelerator 3.0.12 release notes (AG421-96009, April 2009)

For example:
Using the Management Console:
1. Go to the Setup: Start/Stop Services page and select Manual from the PFS drop-down list.
2. Save your configuration changes to memory in the Configuration Manager page.
Using the CLI:
1. Connect to the CLI. For detailed information, see the HP StorageWorks Enterprise File Services
WAN Accelerator Command-Line Interface reference manual.
2. At the system prompt, enter the following set of commands:
WA > enable
WA # configure terminal
WA (config) # no pfs auto-launch enable
WA (config) # write memory
You cannot change from one configuration to another in PFS deployments. The HP EFS WAN
Accelerator Management Console has been built around the Cisco CLI management model, which
has the following major characteristic features:
• Any configuration change is applied to the system immediately but not saved permanently without
the system administrator committing the configuration changes. This means after making the con-
figuration changes, if the system is rebooted (or the Management Console is restarted), the system
comes up with the last saved configuration.
• The system administrator can maintain different configurations under different names and can
switch to any saved configuration at any time and continue without disruptions (of course, assuming
that the saved configuration was valid and is still valid).
The previous functionality works very well for network devices, such as the HP EFS WAN Accelerator.
However, with the addition of PFS features, there are the following implications:
• Any configuration change such as add or delete of a share, if not saved automatically, causes
the system to start with the impaired functionality and causes service disruption.
• There is no concept of switching configurations with PFS. If a saved configuration "save1" has
system part of domain "save1.dom" and has shares a, b, and c, and current configurations have
system part of "curr.dom" and have share x, y, and z, then switching to the "save1" configuration
does not work because the domain information which makes the system part of domain
"save1.dom" has been overwritten. Hence, switching configurations makes the PFS configuration
information invalid.
