IMPORTANT: As you finish entering values for each configuration page, click Apply to test
your settings. When you Apply page settings, the values are applied to the running
configuration—they are not saved permanently until you write them to memory. An exclamation
point (!) appears in the left menu to remind you to save your configuration. To write your
configuration settings to memory, see
“Writing Configurations to Memory” on page 120 .
IMPORTANT: Some configuration settings apply to the HP EFS WAN Accelerator service. To
apply the new settings, you must restart the HP EFS WAN Accelerator service. An exclamation
point (!) appears in the left menu to remind you to restart the service. For detailed information,
see
“Starting and Stopping the HP EFS WAN Accelerator Service and PFS” on page 127 .
Setting Optimization Services
The following section describes how to set optimization service parameters for the HP
EFS WAN Accelerator. It has the following sections:
‹ “Enabling In-Path and Out-of-Path Support,” next
‹ “Setting In-Path Rules” on page 26
‹ “Enabling CIFS Protocol Options” on page 38
‹ “Setting MAPI Protocol Options” on page 39
‹ “Enabling MS-SQL Protocol Options” on page 42
‹ “Enabling HSTCP Protocol Options” on page 44
‹ “Enabling Connection Pooling” on page 46
Enabling In-
Path and Out-of-
Path Support
During the initial setup of the HP EFS WAN Accelerator you had the option to enable
and configure in-path and out-of-path support. Check or modify your settings in the
Setup: Optimization Service - General Settings page.
If you have a HP EFS WAN Accelerator that contains multiple two-port or four-port
bypass cards, the Management Console displays options to enable in-path support for
these ports. The number of these interface options depends on the number of pairs of
Local Area Network (LAN) and Wide Area Network (WAN) ports that you have
enabled in your HP EFS WAN Accelerator.
The interface names for the bypass cards are a combination of the slot number and the
port pairs (<slot>_<pair>). For example, if a four-port bypass card is located in slot 0
of your appliance, the interface names are: inpath0_0 and inpath0_1, respectively.
Alternatively, if the bypass card is located in slot 1 of your appliance, the interface
names are: inpath1_0, and inpath1_1, respectively. The maximum number of pairs is
six, which is three four-port bypass cards. For detailed information about installing
additional bypass cards, see the HP StorageWorks Enterprise File Services WAN
Accelerator Bypass NIC Installation Guide.
