Synchronizing user profile name, UID, and GID

 

Synchronize user profiles across your cluster to reduce the amount of processing required when you make a disk pool available.

In a clustered environment, a user profile is considered to be the same across systems if the profile names are the same. The name is the unique identifier in the cluster. However, a user profile also contains a user identification number (UID) and group identification number (GID). To reduce the amount of internal processing that occurs during a switchover, where the independent disk pool is made unavailable on one system and then made available on a different system, the UID and GID values should be synchronized across the recovery domain for the device CRG.

Management Central provides a method for administrators to edit user profiles across multiple systems. See Manage users and groups with Management Central for details.
