Adding File Shares
The Advanced mode offers a more detailed configuration process for adding file servers and
shares. Giving you manual configuration options such as enabling the default cache, selecting
the default cache read ahead, specifying individual shares, and adding domain records.
Note the following considerations before adding file shares:
• File servers configured in Advanced mode might not display when viewed in Basic mode.
• A unique Local WXA Name must be created for every remote file server added on the
Central Site.
• When adding a server, it is recommended to enter a period after the Local WXA Name, this
auto-completes the name with that of the domain (e.g WXA-4000-CS-1.my_domain.local).
If the period is not entered, a caution icon will appear in the Shares tab next to the Remote
Server name, noting that it is recommended to use the fully qualified name:
This section contains an example of configuring shares in a typical WXA deployment. If your
WXA deployment is different, you can still use this example as a guide to add file shares, the
basic principals are the same.
In this example, we are going to add shares that are hosted on File Server 1 and File Server 2,
use this network diagram as a reference and perform the following steps:
