Enabling Proxy File Service
This section describes how to enable and configure the Proxy File Service (PFS) for
the HP EFS WAN Accelerator. It includes the following sections:
“Adding PFS Shares” on page 102
Enabling PFS
You can enable and configure PFS support in the Proxy File Service (PFS) -
Configuration page.
NOTE: PFS is not supported on the Model 510.
PFS is an optional integrated virtual file server that allows you to store copies of files
on the HP EFS WAN Accelerator with Windows file access, while creating several
options for transmitting data between remote offices and centralized locations with
improved performance and functions. PFS provides:
LAN access to data residing across the WAN.
Continuous access to files in the event of WAN disruption.
Simplified branch infrastructure and backup architectures.
In v3.0 you no longer need to install the HP EFS Remote Copy Utility (RCU) service
on the server to synchronize your PFS shares—all RCU functionality has been moved
to the HP EFS WAN Accelerator. When you upgrade from v2.x to v3.x all your
existing shares will be running as v2.x shares. If you have legacy shares (that is, shares
created with Version v2.x software), you can convert your v2.x shares to v3.x shares
in the Management Console.
For detailed information about PFS and when to enable it, see the HP StorageWorks
Enterprise File Services WAN Accelerator Deployment Guide.
Enabling PFS support is optional.
