Enabling eqwsi on a pre-existing http share – HP StoreAll Storage User Manual

Page 310

EQWSI can only be enabled on shares that meet the following criteria:

•

HTTP-share required properties.

◦

If multiple HTTP shares are configured, ensure that the HTTP VHOSTs are not configured
with the same IP address.

◦

The share must be a standard HTTP share or HP StoreAll REST API share in file compatible
mode. HTTPS shares and HP StoreAll REST API shares in object mode are not supported.

◦

The EQWSI-enabled HTTP share cannot be configured with a multi-directory level URL.
For example, EQWSI is not supported on HTTP shares with an URL path similar to
/report/sales/

◦

The Browseable field must be set to true if you want the EQWSI searched results
browseable from the Windows client.

◦

The Anonymous settings for the share must also be set to true. EQWSI is not supported
on HTTP shares that have user access restricted to specific users.

◦

The URL path of the share must not have any of the following characters:

question mark (?), backslash (\), slash (/), asterisk (*), apostrophe (‘), open parenthesis,
( ( ), closing parenthesis ( ) ), open bracket ({), or closing bracket (})

◦

The EQWSI-enabled HTTP share cannot have a URL path set to feds. When creating an
Express Query-enabled HTTP share, do not enter feds in the URL path box; otherwise,
the Express Query WSI search function does not work.

•

Cluster requirement. The Express Query service must be running in the cluster for EQWSI
queries to be functional.

•

File system requirement. The file system must have Express Query enabled before you can
enable EQWSI on an HTTP share. If at a later time someone disables Express Query on a file
system that already has EQWSI-enabled HTTP shares, the EQWSI queries will stop working.
The next time you modify an existing EQWSI-enabled share on that file system, you will be
prompted to disable EQWSI for that share.

•

Virtual host requirement. Only port 80 is recommended to be used in the virtual host which
is used for EQWSI enabled HTTP shares.

Enabling EQWSI on a pre-existing HTTP share

NOTE:

Please refer the ibrix_httpshare CLI option in the HP StoreAll OS CLI Reference

Guide for details on adding an EQWSI-enabled HTTP share or modifying an existing HTTP share
to enable EQWSI.

Instead of creating an EQWSI-enabled HTTP share, you can also enable EQWSI on a pre-existing
HTTP share that meets the requirements provided in
