File Persona Virtual File Server Installation

A Virtual File Server (VFS) presents virtual IP addresses to allow clients to access shares. Policies
for user and group quota management and antivirus policies are managed at the VFS level. A VFS
comprises one or more IP addresses and a minimum of 1TiB of storage.
Each VFS leverages a File Provisioning Group (FPG), an instance of the HP Adaptive File System
(AFS), to control how files are stored and retrieved. The FPG has a minimum size of 1TiB and is
assigned storage from a HP 3PAR Common Provisioning Group (CPG). There is a 1:1 mapping
between a VFS and an FPG.
Replicate the following table for each VFS.
NOTE: Anti-Virus Policies, Quotas and Snapshots can be defined against a VFS post installation.

Optional description of the VFS
Storage Allocation: Size
The minimum size allowed for a FPG is 1 TB. Maximum FPG size is 32TB.
Each pair of nodes can manage a maximum of 64 TB.
Storage Allocation: CPG
Identify the CPG to be used to provide storage for this VFS. File Persona will
automatically create an FPG when you create the VFS and specify the CPG.
NOTE: DO NOT use the fs_cpg Common Provisioning Group (CPG) when
provisioning File Provisioning Groups (FPGs). The fs_cpg is the default CPG
for the File Persona Software Suite and should not be used.
Networking: IP Address, Subnet mask, VLAN TAG
List the IP address(es) to be assigned to the VFS. The VLAN TAG is optional
and defaults to 0.
Each VFS supports up to 4 IP addresses.
Primary Node
Answer: 1, 2, 3, or 4
Optional: File Persona will automatically assign a Primary Node for the FPG
associated with the VFS. This can be manually assigned if necessary

File Persona File Share Installation

File Shares provide data access to clients via SMB, NFS, and the Object Access API, based on
the share permissions applied to them. File Shares are presented from a File Store. File Stores are
the slice of a Virtual File Server and File Provisioning Group at which snapshots are taken, capacity
Quota Management can be performed, and Antivirus Scan Services policies customized. There
are up to 256 File Stores supported on a node pair, 16 File Stores per VFS.
The following sections detail the information to capture for each share type, SMB, NFS and Object.
