C.7 Removing a Shadow Relationship with a Remote NSS Volume

You can use the remote secondary volume as an independent volume again by removing the relationship with the remote secondary volume and disconnecting the Novell Client connection to the remote server. Because none of the file access rights that were set on the merged view of the shadow volume were pushed to the secondary NSS volume, you must set the trustees and file system rights again for the data on the remote volume.

  1. Remove the shadow volume relationship between the two volumes.

    1. In Novell Remote Manager for Linux, log in as the root user.

    2. Select Manage NCP Services > Manage Shares to go to the NCP Shares page.

    3. Locate the primary NSS volume in the Active Shares list, then click the Unmount button next to the share name.

    4. On the Manage Shares page, click the Information (i) icon next to the volume name of the NSS volume to access the Remove Shadow Action Options.

    5. On the volume’s Share Information page under Volume Tasks > Remove Shadow Action Options, click Remove Shadow.

      After the shadow volume is removed, the page refreshes to report a successful removal.

    6. Select Share Management to go to the NCP Shares page, locate the volume that was the primary volume in the Active Shares list, then click the Mount button next to it.

    7. Verify that the shadow volume was removed by using one of the following methods:

      • Select View File System > Dynamic Storage Technology Options to go to the Dynamic Storage Options page. The former primary volume now has an Add Shadow link next to it instead of a Shadowed link.

      • Select Manage NCP Services > Manage Shares, then click the Information icon next to the former primary volume’s name. The File System Shadow Path field displays n/a (not applicable).

  2. Use one of the following methods to remove file access to the secondary volume:

    • All NSS volumes on all of the remote servers: On the DST server, log out of the Novell Client sessions for all remote servers.

      1. Log in to the DST server as the root user, then open a terminal console.

      2. At the console prompt, enter

        nwlogout --tree <tree_name>

    • All NSS volumes on the remote server: On the DST server, log out of the Novell Client session for a specified remote server.

      1. Log in to the DST server as the root user, then open a terminal console.

      2. At the console prompt, enter

        nwlogout --server <remote_servername_or_ip_address>

    • Individual NSS volume on the remote server: Remove the file system access rights on the remote volume for the user name you used to log in to the remote server.

  3. For the remote NSS volume, remove any special file system access rights that you gave the user name that you used for the remote login.

  4. Set up file access for users on the independent remote NSS volume.
