6.5 HP StoreAll OS User Guide

EQWSI can only be enabled on shares that meet the following criteria:
• HTTP-share required properties.
◦ If multiple HTTP shares are configured, ensure that the HTTP VHOSTs are not configured
with the same IP address.
◦ The share must be a standard HTTP share or HP StoreAll REST API share in file compatible
mode. HTTPS shares and HP StoreAll REST API shares in object mode are not supported.
◦ The EQWSI-enabled HTTP share cannot be configured with a multi-directory level URL.
For example, EQWSI is not supported on HTTP shares with an URL path similar to
/report/sales/.
◦ The Browseable field must be set to true if you want the EQWSI searched results
browseable from the Windows client.
◦ The Anonymous settings for the share must also be set to true. EQWSI is not supported
on HTTP shares that have user access restricted to specific users.
◦ The URL path of the share must not have any of the following characters:
question mark (?), backslash (\), slash (/), asterisk (*), apostrophe (‘), open parenthesis,
( ( ), closing parenthesis ( ) ), open bracket ({), or closing bracket (})
◦ The EQWSI-enabled HTTP share cannot have a URL path set to feds. When creating an
Express Query-enabled HTTP share, do not enter feds in the URL path box; otherwise,
the Express Query WSI search function does not work.
• Cluster requirement. The Express Query service must be running in the cluster for EQWSI
queries to be functional.
• File system requirement. The file system must have Express Query enabled before you can
enable EQWSI on an HTTP share. If at a later time someone disables Express Query on a file
system that already has EQWSI-enabled HTTP shares, the EQWSI queries will stop working.
The next time you modify an existing EQWSI-enabled share on that file system, you will be
prompted to disable EQWSI for that share.
• Virtual host requirement. Only port 80 is recommended to be used in the virtual host which
is used for EQWSI enabled HTTP shares.
Enabling EQWSI on a pre-existing HTTP share
NOTE: Please refer the ibrix_httpshare CLI option in the HP StoreAll OS CLI Reference
Guide for details on adding an EQWSI-enabled HTTP share or modifying an existing HTTP share
to enable EQWSI.
Instead of creating an EQWSI-enabled HTTP share, you can also enable EQWSI on a pre-existing
HTTP share that meets the requirements provided in “Requirements for creating an EQWSI-enabled
HTTP share or enabling EQWSI on a pre-existing HTTP share” (page 309).
To enable EQWSI on a pre-existing HTTP share:
