Detection Method for Real-time Monitoring

 

Choose the desired detection method for the Source folder. You may choose from the following options:

Normal (default)

Select this option to specify a local or remote drive which resides on the network (LAN, WAN, or VPN). This is the recommended detection method for most scenarios. Close the Source Folder Configuration dialog once you have selected your desired source folder detection mode and enter the path to the source folder in the Folder Selection screen (i.e. D:\Path\Folder).

 

Note: PeerSync must reside on the source system in order to enable Normal real-time detection.

NetApp FPolicy 7-Mode

Select this option to specify the path to a 7-Mode NetApp filer for either real-time or scanning scenarios. Close the Source Folder Configuration dialog once you have selected your desired source folder detection mode and enter the path to the source folder in the Folder Selection screen (i.e. \\NetAppFiler\Share\Folder).

 

Note: This option can only be activated if the license supports NetApp detection. Please visit http://www.peersoftware.com or contact Sales for additional information.

NetApp FPolicy cDOT

Select this option to specify the path to a cDOT NetApp filer for either real-time or scanning scenarios. Close the Source Folder Configuration dialog once you have selected your desired source folder detection mode and enter the path to the source folder in the Folder Selection screen (i.e. \\NetAppFiler\Share\Folder).

 

Note: This option can only be activated if the license supports NetApp detection. Please visit http://www.peersoftware.com or contact Sales for additional information.

 

 

NetApp FPolicy Screening Options

 

Enable CIFS Screening

CIFS Screening is enabled by default when clicking the "Set CIFS Defaults" button in the CIFS/NFS tab.

Enable NFSv3 Screening

NFSv3 is the only NetApp FPolicy Screening option supported when working with NFS.. This must be set when utilizing NFS detection and is automatically selected when the "Set NFS Defaults" button is clicked in the CIFS/NFS tab.

Enable NFSv4 Screening

NFSv4 screening is presently not supported.

 

 

Detection Method Options

Exclude Users

When selecting NetApp FPolicy 7-Mode or NetApp FPolicy cDOT as the source detection mode, you have the option to filter/exclude real-time activity from a list of specific users. Real-time events from the users in this field will be excluded. Enter the desired user names in a semi collon delimited format (i.e. user1;user2;user3).

Allow for remote real-time configuration

This option indicates whether or not the selected source folder detection method supports real-time detection for remote paths. Presently, this feature is only supported for NetApp FPolicy Mode or Netapp FPolicy cDOT detection modes.

 

 

Notes:

 

1.NetApp CIFS real-time support requires the NetApp option. Please visit http://www.peersoftware.com or contact Sales for additional information.

 

2.NFS real-time support requires an NFS and NetApp enabled license.  Please visit http://www.peersoftware.com or contact Sales for additional information.

 

3.Generally performance will be optimal when PeerSync is installed on one of the machines involved in the synchronization process (Source or Target).
