Restoring services
When you perform a Quick Restore of a file serving node, the NFS, SMB, FTP, and HTTP export
information is not automatically restored to the node. After operations are failed back to the node,
the I/O from client systems to the node fails for the NFS, SMB, FTP, and HTTP shares. To avoid
this situation, manually restore the NFS, SMB, FTP, and HTTP exports on the node before failing it
back.
Restore SMB services. Complete the following steps:
1.
If the restored node was previously configured to perform domain authorization, run the
following command:
ibrix_auth -n DOMAIN_NAME -A AUTH_PROXY_USER_NAME@domain_name [-P
AUTH_PROXY_PASSWORD] -h HOSTNAME
For example:
ibrix_auth -n ibq1.mycompany.com -A Administrator@ibq1.mycompany.com
-P password -h ib5-9
If the command fails, check the following:
Verify that DNS services are running on the node where you ran the ibrix_auth
command.
Verify that you entered a valid domain name with the full path for the -n and -A options.
2.
Rejoin the likewise database to the Active Directory domain:
/opt/likewise/bin/domainjoin-cli join <domain_name> Administrator
3.
Push the original share information from the management console database to the restored
node. On the node hosting the active management console, first create a temporary SMB
share:
ibrix_cifs -a -f FSNAME -s SHARENAME -p SHAREPATH
NOTE:
You cannot create an SMB share with a name containing an exclamation point (!)
or a number sign (#) or both.
Then delete the temporary SMB share:
ibrix_cifs -d -s SHARENAME
4.
Run the following command to verify that the original share information is on the restored
node:
ibrix_cifs -i -h SERVERNAME
Restore HTTP services. Complete the following steps:
1.
Take the appropriate actions:
If Active Directory authentication is used, join the restored node to the AD domain
manually.
If Local user authentication is used, create a temporary local user on the GUI and apply
the settings to all servers. This step resynchronizes the local user database. Then remove
the temporary user.
2.
Run the following command:
ibrix_httpconfig -R -h HOSTNAME
3.
Verify that HTTP services have been restored. Use the GUI or CLI to identify a share served
by the restored node and then browse to the share.
All Vhosts and HTTP shares should now be restored on the node.
Restore FTP services. Complete the following steps:
