Restoring NICI
To restore the NICI configuration files, first determine whether NICI is already installed on the
machine by searching for the
/etc/nici.cfg
file or link.
1
If NICI is already installed on the system, take a backup of the existing set up as outlined
above.
2
Uninstall NICI and remove the
/var/novell/nici
or
/var/opt/novell/nici
directory structure.
This is to make sure that the existing system keys do not conflict with the restored set.
3
Restore the whole structure from the backup store (depending on the version of NICI),
remembering to restore the access rights.
We recommend that you follows the above steps, but knowledgeable operator can choose to restore
individual files or directories, possibly changing the names of the files or directories and assigning
new access rights. This can be done if the
nicifk
and
xmgrcfg.wks
files haven't changed from
those on the backup store.
The following guidelines for each file/directory are recommended when restoring when NICI is
already installed on the box:
14.11.2 NetWare
Before NICI 2.
x
, the configuration files were kept in
sys:\_NetWare
and different procedures
apply. These instructions are valid only for NICI 2.
x
or later.
Performing a Backup
Back up the
sys:\system\NICI
directory and any subdirectories and access rights. There is
only one user on NetWare so the complication of backing up and restoring the user directories as on
UNIX and Windows does not exist.
File Name
Procedure
xmgrcfg.nif
Can be restored over an existing file.
xarchive.000
Can be restored over an existing file.
User specific directories and
files
Take care that the userid in the backup is the same as the user on the
box. If the user directory already exists, determined if the user wants
to keep the current files or restore them to a previous state. Normally,
user configuration files should be restored as a group rather than
individually. Be sure to restore the user files under the correct user’s
correct userid and to restore the rights on the user directory and
contents.
For example, if BOB had userid 1000 at the time of the backup but
now has userid 5000, the files in the backed up directory 1000 should
be restored to directory 5000, or BOB’s UID must be changed back to
1000.
The restore process must not just blindly restore the user directories
without input from the operator. In either case, a backup of the
existing NICI user directory needs to be done.
