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 and /etc/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
$ 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
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 reinstall your current version.
Once this is done, you may restore the saved configuration files.
For example:
$ tar -xvf /tmp/cifs_save/var_backup.tar
$
tar -xvf /tmp/cifs_save/etc_backup.tar
This procedure is not intended to replace a comprehensive
backup strategy that includes user data files.
