Import directory services settings
You can import a directory services configuration from one storage system to other storage systems. This batch operation saves time when you need to configure multiple storage systems in the network.
Make sure that:
-
Directory services are configured in SANtricity System Manager (Settings > Access Management) for the storage system you want to use as the source.
-
The existing configuration for the target storage systems are backed up in SANtricity System Manager (Settings > System > Save Storage Array Configuration).
-
You have reviewed the requirements for replicating storage configurations in Import settings overview.
Imported settings include the domain name and URL of an LDAP (Lightweight Directory Access Protocol) server, along with the mappings for the LDAP server’s user groups to the storage system’s predefined roles.
-
From the Manage page, click Actions > Import Settings.
The Import Settings wizard opens.
-
In the Select Settings dialog, select Directory services and then click Next.
A dialog box opens for selecting the source storage system.
-
In the Select Source dialog, select the storage system with the settings you want to import, and then click Next.
-
In the Select Targets dialog, select one or more storage systems to receive the new settings.
An storage system does not appear in this dialog if the plugin cannot communicate with that storage system (for example, if it is offline or if it has certificate, password, or networking problems). -
Click Finish.
The Operations page displays the results of the import operation. If the operation fails, you can click on its row to see more information.
The target storage systems are now configured with the same directory services as the source storage system.
