run the "testparm -v" command - that will show you the location of key files and directories including

smb.conf
private directory (which typically contains the  smb passwd file)
the lock and cache directory or directories (which include various TDB files.)
netlogon directory (including netlogon scripts)
profile directory (if applicable)

You should not need to rejoin. But you should assume that the config for 3.5.x. may need to be tweaked to work with 3.6.x.


Non-samba files will include things like /etc/host  and /etc/resolv.conf.

When you replace one machine with another machine with the same ip, existing machines may not be able to connect to the new machine until the old arp entries expire. Shd be less than one hour but more than 30 seconds.

Hi,

I am replacing my current RHEL 6 clustered samba server with new servers. The IP's and hostnames will be the same.

The samba version on the old config is: samba-3.5.10-115.el6_2.x86_64
The samba version on the new config is: samba-3.6.9-151.el6.x86_64

What do I need to do to copy the samba configuration to the new servers.

Will I need to do a net join again? or will it just work because the ip's and hostnames are the same.

Thanks
Bob
