HP StorageWorks Enterprise File Services WAN Accelerator 3.0.4 Management Console user guide (AG421-96002, March 2007)

46 CONFIGURING THE HP EFS WAN ACCELERATOR
Enabling
Transparent
Prepopulation
You can enable or disable transparent prepopulation in the Optimization Service -
Prepopulation Settings and Shares page.
With transparent prepopulation the HP EFS WAN Accelerator warms the data store
with data from the client. When a data store is warm, the HP EFS WAN Accelerator
has already seen the data. When data is sent again over the WAN only new or modified
data is sent, dramatically increasing the rate of data transfer over the WAN.
After you enable transparent prepopulation you create a share on a remote file server.
To enable
prepopulation settings
1. Click the Setup tab to expand the Optimization Service menu.
2. Click Prepopulation to display the Optimization Service - Prepopulation Settings
and Shares page.
3. Click Enable to display the Prepopulation controls.
