Restoring Local Groups
Restoring the local group 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 group 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 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.
Restoring 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.
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.
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>\.
