v The section about storage system configuration backup and cloning is
amended with the following information:
When you back up a storage system configuration, the following files are
backed up for the storage system and the default vFiler unit (vfiler0):
– System-specific configuration files, for example, /etc/rc
– System-specific registry options
– Volume configuration
– vfiler0-specific configuration, for example, /etc/quotas, /etc/hosts,
/etc/ usermap.cfg, /etc/nsswitch.conf, and /etc/hosts.equiv
– vfiler0-specific registry options, for example, NFS, CIFS, ndmpd, and NIS
If you have configured vFiler units, when you back up the configuration of
a vFiler unit, the following files in the vFiler unit are backed up:
– vFiler-specific configuration files, for example, /etc/quotas, /etc/hosts,
/etc/ usermap.cfg, /etc/nsswitch.conf, and /etc/hosts.equiv
– vFiler-specific registry options, for example, NFS, CIFS, ndmpd, and NIS
vFiler configuration is backed up or restored only for the vFiler unit on
which the config dump or config restore command is run.
v The section about restoring a storage system configuration is amended with
the following information as Step 3:
1. Enter the following command:
config restore [-v] config_file
-v enables you to restore volume-specific configuration files, as well as
storage system-specific configuration files.
2. Reboot the system to run commands in the /etc/rc file.
3. If you use quotas for any volumes owned by a non-default vFiler unit (a
vFiler unit other than vfiler0), ensure that the quotas are in the desired
state (on or off) for those volumes.
The quotas state for volumes owned by a non-default vFiler is not
restored when you restore a system configuration.
