Share
Parameters
You create and manage PFS shares in the Proxy File Service - Shares page.
A share is the data volume exported by the origin server.
The following table describes the fields in the Shares list that appears after you have
configured a share.
Field Description
Local Name Specifies the name for users to map this share. After the share is configured you can map this
share by connecting to \\HP EFS WAN Accelerator\<local name>.
Description Specifies the comments for the share. If you did not provide any comments, it displays the
remote server and path name.
Mode The following modes are available:
• Broadcast. Provides branch-office HP EFS WAN Accelerators with local read-only copies
of data stored on the origin server.
• Local. Provides read-write access to a given file share hosted on the branch-office HP EFS
WAN Accelerator.
• Stand-Alone. Provides read-write access to data on a branch office HP EFS WAN
Accelerator. There may or may not be an origin server at the data center with which the
share has to synchronize data to.
Sharing Activates Sharing. The share becomes sharable only after you check the Sharing check box.
To prevent users from connecting to this share, uncheck the Sharing check box.
Syncing Activates synchronization. The share conducts automatic synchronization with the origin
server based on the synchronization frequency. To disable automatic synchronization,
uncheck the Syncing check box.
Actions Specifies the following actions:
• Manual Sync. Allows you to immediately synchronize the share and its corresponding
remote share on the origin file server.
• Verify. Allows you compare the PFS share with its equivalent on the origin server. A list of
differences is available in the PFS Shares Status report. For detailed information, see
“Viewing PFS Share Status Reports” on page 149 .
• Cancel. Cancels the synchronization process.
