I want to clone an NFS / CIFS environment. Some of the unix qtrees are accessed by windows AD users, I believe the filer is using NIS to map / authenticate the windows accounts into unix accounts.
The NIS environment will also be cloned as will the AD environment. I will be using snapmirror to clone the data volumes onto the new filer, however I am unsure if it is possible to configure the new filer to point at the cloned NIS environment so to allow mapping / authentication to continue as it did in the old environment – If this is possible how is this done?
Also, if using VSM / QSM from the old filer to new will all file system security / permissions also migrate? Or do I need to make sure that the filer is in the correct AD domain / NIS before I replicate the volumes / qtrees
Lastly, what config files do I need to verify on the exiting filer check if NIS is being used? – Also, anything else I should be aware of?
