PFS Terms The following terms are used to describe processes and devices in PFS.
Proxy File Service
Term Description
Proxy File Server A virtual file server resident on the HP EFS WAN Accelerator,
providing Windows file access (with Access Control Lists
(ACLs)) capability at a branch office on the LAN network,
populated over an optimized WAN connection with data from
the origin server.
Origin Server The server located in the data center which hosts the origin data
volumes.
Domain Name The domain to which you want to make the proxy file server a
member. Typically, this is the same domain as your company’s
domain.
IMPORTANT: The HP EFS WAN Accelerator host name must
be in the DNS database before it can join the domain. Host names
with greater than 15 characters prevent the HP EFS WAN
Accelerator from joining the domain. Make sure your HP EFS
WAN Accelerator host name is less than 15 characters for PFS
configurations.
Domain Controller (DC) Specifies the domain controller name, the host that provides
user login service in the domain. (Typically, with Windows 2000
Active Directory Service domains, the system automatically
retrieves the domain controller name.)
