Setting Up NIS+

Network Information Service Plus (NIS+) was designed to replace NIS, and is the new default naming service for Solaris OS. NIS+ provides limited support to NIS clients, but mainly addresses problems that NIS cannot address.

Note – There is no relation between NIS+ and NIS. The commands and the overall structure of NIS+ are different from NIS.

To set up NIS+:

1.For the Sun StorEdge 5210 NAS to function correctly in an NIS+ environment, you must add the Sun StorEdge 5210 NAS server to the host credential file on the NIS+ server. At your NIS+ server:

a.Log in as root.

b.Enter the following command:

nisaddcred –p unix.SERVER.@DOMAIN -P SERVER.DOMAIN. des

where SERVER is the name of the Sun StorEdge 5210 NAS server, and DOMAIN is the name of the NIS+ domain that the Sun StorEdge 5210 NAS is joining.

Note – You must add a period to the end of the domain name only after the -Pargument.

For example, if the Sun StorEdge 5210 NAS is named SS2, and its NIS+ domain is sun.com, enter the following command:

nisaddcred –p unix.ss2@sun.com –P ss2.sun.com. des

c.You are prompted for a password. This password is also used later in this procedure for configuring the Sun StorEdge 5210 NAS to use NIS+. Enter the password.

2.From a remote workstation, open a Web browser window to the Sun StorEdge 5210 NAS server and log into Web Administrator.
