Restoring Local Groups
Restoring the local groups configuration provides an effective way to restore all local groups without having to manually reconfigure them.
This is useful in the following circumstances:
• After recovering a system
• When failing over to a replication target NAS volume
Local Groups Configuration Backups
Whenever a change in the local groups configuration is made, it is automatically saved in a format that allows you to restore it later. The
configuration is stored and encrypted in the .clusterConfig folder, which is located in the NAS volume's root folder. This folder can
be backed up, either individually, or with the NAS volume's user data, and later restored.
A local groups configuration backup can be made available to be restored using the following methods:
• The storage administrator can manually copy the .clusterConfig folder to a NAS volume in the system from its backup or from
another system. When using a backup from another system, the restore operation works only if the saved configuration was taken
from a system using the same FluidFS version.
• The storage administrator can copy the .clusterConfig folder to a NAS volume in the system from its backup or from another
system using an NDMP restore. When using a backup from another system, the restore operation works only if the saved
configuration was taken from a system using the same FluidFS version.
• The .clusterConfig folder is automatically copied to target NAS volumes during replication.
Restore Local Groups
Local groups can be restored by restoring the configuration stored on the most current NAS volume in the FluidFS cluster and restoring it
on the same system or on another system.
About this task
When you restore the local groups configuration, it overwrites and replaces the existing configuration. Clients that are currently connected
to the FluidFS cluster are disconnected. Clients will then automatically reconnect.
Steps
1. Ensure the.clusterConfig folder has been copied to the root folder of a NAS volume on the system on which to restore local
groups. One way to access the root folder of a NAS volume is to open Windows Explorer and in the address bar type: \
\client_vip_or_name\C$\nas_volume\
2. In the Storage view, select a FluidFS cluster.
3. Click the File System tab.
4. In the File System view, select a tenant and then select Client Accessibility.
5. Click the Local Users and Groups tab.
6. Click Restore.
The Restore Local Users from Replication Source dialog box opens.
7. From the Backup Source drop-down list, select the backup from which to restore local groups.
8. Click OK.
