ConnectStor II User Manual

Using the Clone Feature
The Clone feature copies the user options and password settings from one ConnectStor II unit
to another. You would use this feature when adding another ConnectStor II to a network that
already has one. This action greatly reduces setup time for the new unit.
For the purpose of cloning, the
source
unit is the one already in service. The
target
unit is
the one being added to the network. You begin the cloning procedure by logging into the
target unit first, then copying the settings from the source unit.
These two ConnectStor II units must be running Firmware version 1.0.0.10 or newer. The
version number appears on the Login page of the System Administration Manager. Download
and install the latest firmware release from the Promise website, as necessary.
WARNING
: All current User accounts, User home directories,
User Mode folders, and all UNIX Export IP Settings on your
(the target) ConnectStor II will be DELETED. Use this feature
with caution.
The supervisor password for your (the target) ConnectStor II unit will NOT be changed.
