Step 1: Installing HP CIFS Server Software

If the HP CIFS Server software has been pre-installed on your system,

you may skip Step 1 and go directly to “Step 2: Running the

Conﬁguration Script”.

HP CIFS Server Upgrades:

If you are upgrading an existing HP CIFS Server conﬁguration, HP

recommends that you create a backup copy of your current environment.

The SD install procedure may alter or replace your current conﬁguration

ﬁles. All ﬁles under /var/opt/samba, /etc/opt/samba and /opt/samba

must be saved in order to ensure that you will be able to return to your

current conﬁguration, if necessary. For example:

$ stopsmb

or if winbind is in use, then do:

$ stopsmb -w

$ mkdir /tmp/cifs_save

$ tar -cvf /tmp/cifs_save/var_backup.tar /var/opt/samba

$ tar -cvf /tmp/cifs_save/etc_backup.tar /etc/opt/samba

$ tar -cvf /tmp/cifs_save/optsamba_backup.tar /opt/samba

Do not use the -o option with the tar command. This will ensure proper

ﬁle ownership.

If a problem with the upgrade does occur, use SD to remove the entire

HP CIFS Server product and restore your previous backup version. Once

this is done, you may restore the saved conﬁguration ﬁles and the HP

CIFS Server. For example:

$ tar -xvf /tmp/cifs_save/var_backup.tar

$ tar -xvf /tmp/cifs_save/etc_backup.tar

$ tar -xvf /tmp/cifs_save/optsamba_backup.tar

This procedure is not intended to replace a comprehensive backup

strategy that includes user data ﬁles.

If you are in security = domain, or security = ads mode, it will

probably be necessary to re-join an HP CIFS Server to the domain once

you restore your previous backup version. See Chapter 4, “NT Style
