Contributors netapp-lhalbert

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.

Before you begin

  • You have the Passwords.txt file with the root/admin account password.

  • You have the Configuration.txt file (available in the Recovery Package).

About this task

You can't 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/log

    A numbered list of IP addresses permitted to access the audit share is displayed.

  8. If your StorageGRID deployment is a multiple data center site deployment with additional Admin Nodes at the other sites, disable these audit shares as required:

    1. Remotely log in to each site's Admin Node:

      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.

    3. Close the remote secure shell login to the remote Admin Node: exit
