Parameters
Example
minna (config) # pfs share configure local-name test remote-path /tmp
server-name mytest mode broadcast frequency 10
minna (config) #
local-name <local
name>
Specifies the local share name on the HP EFS WAN Accelerator. A
local share is the data volume exported from the origin server to the
HP EFS WAN Accelerator.
remote-path
<remote path>
Specifies the path name for the share on the origin server.
server-name
<server>
Specifies the server name of the origin server. This is the server
typically located at a data center which hosts the origin file volumes.
mode <mode> Specifies the mode:
• broadcast. Provides the branch-office HP EFS WAN Accelerator
with a local read-only copy of data stored on the origin Server.
CIFS clients who mount a broadcast mode file share on the HP
EFS WAN Accelerator cannot make changes to the files in that file
share.
NOTE: If a file is set to read-only attribute on the origin server, when
it is transferred to the HP EFS WAN Accelerator, the read-only
attribute is not preserved. If a client sets the read-only attribute on a
file on the HP EFS WAN Accelerator, it is reflected in the file
permissions. When this file is transferred to the origin file server, the
read-only attribute is dropped.
• local. Provides read-write access to a given file share on the
branch-office HP EFS WAN Accelerator. CIFS clients mounting a
local mode file share have read-write access to that share. The
contents of the local mode share are mirrored to the origin server.
Only one PFS on a remote HP EFS WAN Accelerator can access
the mirrored data on the origin server.
CAUTION: Do not make changes to shared files on the origin server
while in local mode. In local mode, the HP EFS WAN Accelerator
overwrites data on your origin server. The HP EFS WAN Accelerator
copy of the data is considered the master copy.
• standalone. Data volume exported only to a proxy file. There is no
server at the data center to which the share has to synchronize data
to. For example, if you want to load temporary data that does not
need to be backed up at a data center.
frequency
<frequency>
Specifies how frequently you want to propagate shares:
•For a local mode the minimum is 60 seconds; there is no upper
limit.
• For broadcast mode the minimum is 1800 seconds; there is no
upper limit.
• The frequency is not applicable to standalone shares.
port <port> Specifies the port for the proxy-file share. The default value is 8777.
comment
<comment>
Specifies the purpose for the proxy-file share.
