NFS audit clients are granted access to an audit share based on their IP address. You can remove an existing audit client by removing its IP address.

What you'll need

  • You must have the Passwords.txt file with the root/admin account password (available in the SAID package).

  • You must have the Configuration.txt file (available in the SAID package).

About this task

You cannot remove the last IP address permitted to access the audit share.

Steps

  1. Log in to the primary Admin Node:

    1. Enter the following command: ssh admin@primary_Admin_Node_IP

    2. Enter the password listed in the Passwords.txt file.

    3. Enter the following command to switch to root: su -

    4. Enter the password listed in the Passwords.txt file.

      When you are logged in as root, the prompt changes from $ to #.

  2. Start the NFS configuration utility: config_nfs.rb

    A numbered list of audit shares configured on the server is displayed. The audit share is listed as: /var/local/audit/export

      1. Enter the following command: ssh admin@grid_node_IP

      2. Enter the password listed in the Passwords.txt file.

      3. Enter the following command to switch to root: su -

      4. Enter the password listed in the Passwords.txt file.

    2. Repeat these steps to configure the audit shares for each additional Admin Node.
