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 -P
argument.
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.
