The server Commands
server_nis
Manages the Network Information Service (NIS) server configuration
for the specified Data Mover(s).
SYNOPSIS
server_nis {<movername> | ALL}
[-delete | <domainname> {<ip_addr>,...}]
| {<hostname> | <ip_addr>}[,{<hostname> | <ip_addr>}...]
| -status
DESCRIPTION server_nis provides connectivity to the NIS lookup server(s).
The ALL option executes the command for all of the Data Movers.
OPTIONS No arguments
Displays the NIS configuration.
-delete
Deletes all of the NIS lookup servers.
<domainname> {<ip_addr>,<ip_addr>,.... }
Creates a list of up to 10 IP addresses to be used as NIS lookup
servers for the specified <domainname>. Up to 10 NIS servers in a
single NIS domain are supported per Data Mover. A Data Mover can
support only one NIS domain.
Each time an NIS domain is configured, the previous configuration is
overwritten.
To provide high availability, you must configure your environment
with multiple NIS servers. If you configure only a single NIS server, a
problem with this NIS server could result in data unavailability.
{<hostname> | <ip_addr>} [,{<hostname> | <ip_addr>}...]
Queries the NIS lookup server(s) using either a <hostname> or IP
address. Multiple hostnames or IP addresses can be queried. Prior to
performing a query, the NIS server must be activated and
operational.
-status
Displays the status of the NIS lookup server even when the NIS
server is not operational.
