Export the usermapper DB and Import

Hi,

Do the following :


On NS702G :
# server_usermapper server_2 -E -u user
# server_usermapper server_2 -E -g group

On NS480 :
# server_usermapper server_2 -d
# server_usermapper server_2 -Import -u user
# server_usermapper server_2 -Import -g group
# server_usermapper server_2 -e


It's recommended that you are on the same major version ( 5.5, 5.6 ) on both boxes.

No need of giving any path?

What will server_usermapper server_2 -d will do and what will server_usermapper server_2 -e?

bonus question: what will "man server_usermapper" do ?

Hi,

the -E(xport) option will create the files on your current directory.

server_usermapper server_2 -d will disable the usermapper service and server_usermapper server_2 -e will enable it.

You can safely disable it, since the secmap cache should take care of all mappings.

now that's a trick question

So When I export the usermapper DB were will I find that path.So that When I import that I should give the path right?

I exported on my NS720G and I got the output as Done
when I am trying to Import on my NS480
I am geeting an error
[nasadmin@RNO-NAS-PR01-NEW >$ server_usermapper server_2 -Import -u user
server_2 :
Error 4402: server_2 : user : no such file

does the file named user exist in that directory you are running the command from ?

If yes and you can read it and it still doesnt work please open a service request

you can use scp or a network share

doesnt really matter where you store them - /home/nasadmin will do - once they are imported teh src files arent used any longer anyway

What's the recommended method for moving the exported files from the old NS to the new? Were should the files be copied to on the new in order to be imported?
