Description
The Infoblox Grid Master is the central point of management within an Infoblox Grid. The Grid Master retains a full copy of the configuration used for the entire Grid. In the event of system failure, a configuration backup must be preserved. An Infoblox member may also be configured as a Grid Master Candidate which is a synchronized to the Grid Master. The Candidate can be promoted in the event of system failure on the Grid Master.

Check Text (C-214223r612370_chk)

Navigate to Grid >> Grid Manager >> Members tab. In the toolbar click the drop-down menu for "Backup", "Schedule Backup". Verify configuration of a remote backup option (TFTP, FTP, or SCP). Review the existence of backup files on the remote system. If a remote backup system is not configured, or a local backup procedure is not documented, this is a finding. If no remote or local backup is configured, but the Grid contains a Grid Master candidate, the severity of the finding is reduced.

Fix Text (F-15436r295933_fix)

Navigate to Grid >> Grid Manager >> Members tab. In the toolbar click the drop-down menu for "Backup", "Schedule Backup". Configure remote backup to TFTP, FTP, or SCP. When complete, click "Save & Close" to save the changes and exit the "Properties" screen. Perform a service restart if necessary. Review the existence of backup files on the remote system.
