Migrating From HP CIFS Client A.01 to A.02

Migrating from version A.01.* to A.02.* of HP CIFS Client

Chapter 458

Step 2. Save conﬁguration ﬁle to the backup directory. If you do not use a

modiﬁed version of the conﬁguration ﬁle, you may skip this step.

$ cp /etc/opt/cifsclient/cifsclient.cfg A.01_migration_files/A.01.cfg

Step 3. Use the cifslist -U command to generate an ascii listing of saved user

records in database and to save it to the backup directory. If there are no

user records in the database , you may skip this step (use cifslist -U

to check). You can view this list as a reference when re-creating user

database entries under version A.02.

$ cifslist -U > A.01_migration_files/A.01.udb.users.list

Step 4. Use the cifslist -M command to generate an ascii listing of saved

mount records in database and to save it to the backup directory. If there

are no mount records in the database , you may skip this step (use

cifslist -M to check). You can view this list as a reference when

re-creating mount database entries under version A.02.

$ cifslist -M > A.01_migration_files/A.01.udb.mounts.list

Step 5. Preserve CIFS Client database to the backup directory . If you skipped

steps 3, 4 above, you may skip this step as well.

$ mv cifsclient.udb A.01_migration_files/A.01.ubd

NOTE The CIFS Client database is encrypted, using among other elements, the

inode of the database in the HP-UX ﬁlesystem. This is a security

measure that prevents the database from being moved to a different

computer. Hence, if you decide to revert to version A.01 of the CIFS

Client, the inode number of the database must be preserved, else the

CIFS Client is unable to decrypt the database. To ensure that the inode

number is retained, the database must be backed up into the same

logical volume, with the mv command. Do not use cp or any other UNIX

command that changes the inode of the ﬁle. Use the mv command to back

up the CIFS Client database.

Reverting to Version A.01

If you prefer version A.01 of the HP CIFS Client to A.02, use the

following steps to revert to the most recent release of version A.01:
