Enabling and
Synchronizing
Shares

After you have configured your PFS shares, you must perform the initial
synchronization and enable your shares in the Proxy File Services (PFS) - Shares
Details page.

When you perform the initial synchronization of the share, a copy of the data is
downloaded from the origin server to the HP EFS WAN Accelerator. The HP EFS
WAN Accelerator also configures the share for automatic synchronization according
to the parameters you specified previously.

When you enable sharing for the first time, the share is made available to users for
mounting. Users can map the mounted share using standard Windows mapping
procedures. For example, map a network drive using the following format:

\\<appliance name or primary interface IP address>\<name of share>

To initialize and enable
a share

1. Click the Setup tab to display the Setup menu.

2. Click Proxy File Service to expand the PFS menu.

3. Click Shares to display the Proxy File Service - Shares page.

4. Click the Local Name of the share that you want to initialize or synchronize in the

Shares list to display the Proxy File Service (PFS) - Shares Details page.
