Description

Bring folder targets online only after a re-scan is complete

Re-enable a disabled folder target in a PeerGFS-managed DFS namespace only when it has been rescanned and is back in sync after an outage.  Highly recommended.

Disable a folder target if its linked participant is not available when a job is started

If a File Collaboration or File Synchronization job is started and a participant is not available, automatically disable its associated folder target in a managed DFS namespace.

4.Click Apply and Close or Apply.
