Customizable Reports
HP EFS WAN Accelerator Manager reports can be customized according to time
interval and aggregated according to application type, traffic direction, and appliance
group.
You can also create a custom dashboard of the metrics reported on the Welcome and
Summary report pages.
For details, see Chapter 6, “Displaying and Customizing HP EFS WAN Accelerator
Manager Reports.”
Scheduled Operations
You can set operations, such as software upgrades and configuration changes, to run
during off-peak hours. Although these processes are not time consuming, they might
interrupt traffic, and it is recommended to schedule these operations during off-peak
hours.
Configuration Backups
You can back up the HP EFS WAN Accelerator Manager or remote appliance
configurations before making configuration changes. When you create a backup, the
HP EFS WAN Accelerator Manager:
1. Saves the current configuration as:
wam_backup_DATETIMESTAMP
2. Saves and activates the current configuration on the appliance as:
wam_cfg
3. Continues with the configuration change.
NOTE: The DATETIMESTAMP is calculated from the current time of the appliance, not the
current time on the HP EFS WAN Accelerator Manager. The DATETIMESTAMP is in the
form of YYYYMMDDHHMMSS.
IMPORTANT: If you do not back up the current configuration, all changes are made to the
current, running configuration on the appliance in your HP system.
For details, see “Managing Configuration Backups” on page 95 .
