Operating Systems AIX NIM host name change Post 302257410 by isatis31 on Wednesday 12th of November 2008 05:08:25 AM

Hi,

Try this command : smitty nim_ch_if1 fastpath.

I have changed the NIM master's hostname with this few weeks ago.

The command update the master and try to update the clients (/etc/niminfo) if the NIM_SHELL variable is set to "nimsh".

If not, you have to modify the /etc/niminfo on the client side and restart the nimsh service with stopsrc/startsrc.

NAME
ypwhich - determine which host is the current NIS server or map master. SYNOPSIS
ypwhich [-d domain] [-V1] [-V2] [hostname] ypwhich [-d domain] [-m[mname]] [-t[mapname]] ypwhich -x OPTIONS
Identifies which server is serving v.1 NIS protocol-speaking client processes. Identifies which server is serving v.2 NIS protocol-speak- ing client processes. If neither version is specified, ypwhich attempts to locate the server that supplies the current v.2 services. If there is no v.2 server currently bound, ypwhich attempts to locate the server supplying the v.1 services. Since NIS servers and NIS clients are both backward compatible, the user need seldom be concerned about which version is currently in use. Uses domain instead of the current domain. Finds the master NIS server for a map. No hostname can be specified with -m. The mname argument can be a mapname, or a nickname for a map. When mname is omitted, ypwhich provides a list of available maps. Inhibits nickname translation and is useful if there is a mapname identical to a nickname. Displays the map nickname table. This option lists the nicknames (mnames) that the command knows of, and indicates the mapname associated with each nickname. DESCRIPTION
The ypwhich command identifies the Network Information Service (NIS) server that currently supplies NIS services to an NIS client. It also identifies which NIS server is the master for a map. If invoked without arguments, ypwhich returns the host name of the NIS server for the local machine. If hostname is specified, ypwhich checks that machine to find out which NIS master it is using. Refer to ypfiles(4) and ypserv(8) for an overview of NIS. SEE ALSO
