Restoring Local Users
Restoring the local user configuration provides an effective way to restore all local users 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 Users Configuration Backups
Whenever a change in the local user 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 volumeʹs root folder. This folder can be backed up, either individually, or with the
NAS volumeʹs user data, and later restored.
A local users 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.
Restoring Local Users
Local users 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.
When you restore the local user configuration, it overwrites and replaces the existing configuration.
Clients that are currently connected to the FluidFS cluster are disconnected. Clients will then
automatically reconnect.
1. Ensure the .clusterConfig folder has been copied to the root folder of a NAS volume on the system
on which to restore local users. 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. Click the Access Control tab on the left.
