Restoring a Previous Client Configuration
When upgrading from a StorNext 3.0 or later release, client configurations are fully maintained and do not need to be imported or exported. Client configuration files are automatically saved when you remove StorNext, or can be manually saved for backup purposes. If you want to restore a saved a client configuration file, you can import it using the StorNext Installation tool. This configures StorNext using the settings from a previous installation.
Use the StorNext Installation Tool
- Double-click the file SnfsSetup32.exe (32-bit systems) or SnfsSetup64.exe (64-bit systems). The StorNext Installation window appears.
- Click Configure StorNext. The StorNext Configuration window appears.
- Click Import/Export Client Settings. The Import/Export Client Configuration window appears.
- Under Import, click Browse. Locate the client configuration (*.reg) file to import, and then click Open. Client configuration files saved during removal of a previous version of StorNext are located in the following directory by default: C:\Program Files\StorNext\config\
Note: Systems prior to StorNext 3.0 used the default directory C:\SNFS\config\.
- Click an option for handling current configuration settings:
- Merge with current configuration: The imported configuration is merged with the current configuration settings. Imported mount information is added to, or overwrites, existing information.
- Replace current configuration: The current mount information is completely removed and replaced by the imported configuration.
- Click Import, and then click Yes to confirm. A message appears informing you the configuration settings were successfully added to the registry.
- Click OK, and then click Quit to close the Import/Export Client Configuration window.
