Enables PFS support if you have an HP EFS WAN Accelerator, Model DL320-1010,
DL320-2010, DL380-3010, or DL380-5010. PFS provides fast access to local files,
accelerated access to files requiring SMB signing and continuous access to files in the
event of WAN disruption. PFS allows you to store local copies of files at the remote
site in an integrated virtual file server resident on the HP EFS WAN Accelerator. PFS
supports only Windows 2000 and above domains.
PFS is not appropriate for all network environments. For example, in a collaborative
work environment when there are many users reading, writing, and updating a
common set of files and records you should consider not enabling PFS.
You must carefully evaluate whether PFS is suitable for your network needs. For
detailed information about PFS and when to enable it, see the HP StorageWorks
Enterprise File Services WAN Accelerator Deployment Guide.
NOTE: Using PFS can reduce the overall connection capacity for optimized TCP connections,
as memory and CPU resources are diverted to support the PFS operation.
NOTE: If more than 100 MB of data is transferred through an HP EFS WAN Accelerator,
Model DL320-1010 while performing PFS synchronization, the Central Processing Unit (CPU)
utilization might become high and result in a CPU alarm. This CPU alarm should not be cause
for concern.
realm <domain
name>
Specifies the Windows 2000 or above domain. The HP EFS WAN
Accelerator host name must be in the DNS database for the HP EFS
WAN Accelerator to 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.
login <user login> Specifies the domain controller login.
password
<password>
Specifies the domain controller password.
dc-name <domain
controller>
Specifies the domain controller. The domain controller is optional.
You must specify the domain controller if it is located across the
WAN.
