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\
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.

uncheck the Syncing check box.

• 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
