Creating your file...
After the installation is complete, you must perform a few tasks to ensure that SnapDrive for UNIX is installed successfully.
-
Verify that the installation program has installed all the necessary files on your host.
-
Confirm that the configuration variables in the
snapdrive.conf
file have the correct settings.For the majority of these variables, the default values should be applicable.
-
Supply SnapDrive for UNIX with the current storage system login information.
When you set up your storage system, you supplied a user login for it. SnapDrive for UNIX needs this login information to work with the storage system.
-
To use role-based access control (RBAC), set the
rbac-method=dfm
variable in thesnapdrive.conf
file.By default, SnapDrive 4.0 for UNIX and later accesses the storage systems using the root credentials. The RBAC functionality is not turned on.
-
To use HTTPS for a secure connection with the storage system and daemon service, set the
use-https-to-sdu-daemon=on
in thesnapdrive.conf
file.SnapDrive 5.0 for UNIX and later versions support HTTPS for daemon communication. By default, the option is set to off
. -
Install the server certificate that is used by SnapDrive for UNIX in the
sdu-daemon-certificate-path=/opt/NTAPsnapdrive/snapdrive.pem
path as specified in thesnapdrive.conf
file. -
Change the default password for the SnapDrive for UNIX daemon service by running the following command:
snapdrived passwd
