HP CIFS Client A.02.02.03 Administrator's Guide

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
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 usecp 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:
1. Remove version A.02 (a system reboot will occur after the removal is completed):
$ swremove -x autoreboot=true -x mount_all_filesystems=false B8724AA
2. Download the most recent release of version A.01 of the CIFS Client from
http://software.hp.com.
3. Install the downloaded CIFS Client depot. See “Step 2: Installing HP CIFS Client and PAM
Software” (page 15) for detailed information on installation.
4. If you preserved your old configuration file, in step 2 under the "Preserving Data From A.01
Installations" section above, restore it to /etc/opt/cifsclient.
5. If you preserved your old database file, in step 5 under the "Preserving Data From A.01
Installations" section above, restore it to /var/opt/cifsclient. You must use the mv
command to preserve your database file, as explained in step 5 under the "Preserving Data
From A.01 Installations" section above.
Funtionality Differences Between HP CIFS Client A.01.* and A.02.*
The following describes functionality differences between HP CIFS Client A.01.* and A.02.*:
• In HP CIFS Sever A.02.01, unmounting the last mount to a server does not logout any of the
users logged in at the server. The HP CIFS Client A.01.x or earlier versions log out the users
when the last share is unmounted. The new behavior in version A.02.01 allows users to be
automatically reconnected if the system administrator needs to unmount and remount a share.
• In HP CIFS Server A.02.01, the cifslist command displays state information in addition
to shares and mountpoints information.
The following is explanation of State symbols in the output of cifslist:
For mounts:
M = Mounted
S = Saved in mount database
R = Read only
For users:
L = Logged in
S = Saved in user database
