PFS Operating
Modes
Each individual file share on the HP EFS WAN Accelerator is configured in one of the
following operating modes:
 Broadcast Mode. Provides branch-office HP EFS WAN Accelerators with local
read-only copies of data stored on the origin server. CIFS clients who map a
Broadcast mode file share on the HP EFS WAN Accelerator cannot make
changes to the files in that file share. 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.
Security Signature Specifies the definition for Windows SMB signing on your
client machine. Enabling PFS restricts SMB signing:
• Disabled. This is the default value. If the client has security
signatures set to disabled, PFS will not function. PFS only
functions if the client has security signatures set to enabled.
• Enabled. If the client has security signatures set to enabled,
PFS is supported.
• Required. If the client has security signatures set to required,
PFS will not function. PFS only functions if the client has
security signatures set to enabled.
Share The data volume exported from the origin server to the remote
HP EFS WAN Accelerator.
Local Name The name that you assign to a Local share on the HP EFS WAN
Accelerator, this is the name by which users identify and map a
share.
Remote Path The path to the data on the origin server or the Universal
Naming Convention (UNC) path of a directory to which you
want to copy and synchronize data to.
Share Server The name of the Windows server where the HP EFS Remote
Copy Utility (RCU) is running.
Share Synchronization Synchronization runs periodically in the background, ensuring
that the data on the proxy file server is synchronized with the
origin server. You have the HP EFS WAN Accelerator refresh
the data automatically by setting the frequency, in seconds; or
manually at anytime.
