SUMMARY: Migration of NIS from HP-UX to Solaris

Hi All,

Thanx a lot to all of you replied, I recieved around dozen replies.
There were few replies that suggested to build up the NIS master from scratch
and then create the slave servers and then update the clients. Few suggested
that the my approach would work fine.
David Foster had send across the details steps to be followed (the same are
attached below).

Thanx again for all your help.

Regds,
-Rajan

Your plan sounds fine. When we migrated NIS from SunOS hosts
to Solaris, created a new slave and then moved the master,
then we disabled the old slaves last.

If you have "Managing NFS and NIS" (O'Reilly) be careful
following their instructions for moving NIS master...I found
their method did not work. I've attached my notes from this move,
I hope it helps. Be sure to use the 'securenets' option for
security.

I found the "Naming Services" docs at docs.sun.com extremely
helpful!

Good luck!

Dave Foster
