Hi Judy,
You're a step ahead...
Just copying the smbpasswd will not work for user accounts (home directories, unix password, unix-samba synchronisation etc.) are handled by the 'create user' script in the manager panel. So is other system related data.
So if you have the correct smbpasswd you don't have the other related stuff....
In the How-To i describe only 1 drbd device: nb0 mounted at the files section of data ibay. It is possible to create more drbd devices mounted at e.q. /etc or /home.
That will get you further ont the track in respect to user data.
Now for system configuration, I think we have to calll in the help of the dev-info community.
1. They have the expertise in customising SME
2. They know which files/scripts/acton exactly are needed to create an exact copy
3. They is also MITEL people who have more in depth knowledge.
So for now I am performing a 'create user' and 'create ibay' action on both servers to make them exactly the same....
Rsync is a good way of relicating from server 1 to server 2, but how about server 1 is down and changes are made (users, ibays) to server 2? That's why I like to try Unison.
Next to the 'server only' mode I also received questions about 'server gateway' mode. This too is an importent issue.
Nevertheless you're comments AND results are most welcome !!!
I give a post to the dev-info list a go. See if anybody can help out.
Thanks for your kind words Judy and good luck.
(but after giving it a try it wasn't that complicated at all was it...
)
