Restore configuration settings

You need to restore the configuration settings for your network.

Context

You need to restore the following networking configuration files from your backup location:
In addition, you need to restore the following SAN File System configuration files from your backup location:
  • /root/.tank.passwd
  • /etc/password (if it exists)
  • /etc/shadow (if it exists)
  • /etc/tank/server/Tank.Bootstrap
  • /etc/tank/server/Tank.Config
  • /etc/tank/admin/config/tank.properties
  • /etc/tank/admin/config/cimom.properties
  • /usr/tank/admin/truststore
  • /var/tank/server/DR/
  • All of the version 1 administrative command-line interface files you created when you verified the current state of the SAN File System. See Verifying the current state of the SAN File System for more information.

If you followed the steps for Copy configuration files to a backup location, you can use the following procedure to restore those files to the metadata server engine.

Steps

  1. Insert the diskette into the diskette drive and mount the diskette drive.
    Tip: If you copied the tar files to the master console instead of putting them on a diskette, use the pscsp and pftp commands to restore them. For information about using these commands, see the PuTTY documentation that is available on the master console.
    mount /dev/fd0 /media/floppy
  2. Change directories to the diskette drive.
    cd /media/floppy
  3. Untar the network configuration files
    tar -xPvf network_config_mds2.tar 
  4. Untar the SAN File System configuration files
    tar -xPvf sfs_config_mds2.tar 
  5. Change directories back to the root directory.
    cd /root 
  6. Unmount the diskette drive and remove the diskette.
    unmount /media/floppy
  7. Reboot the server to apply the changed configuration files.
