it didn't hang, it is wating for NIS server ;-) First thing you can do is to remove NIS configuration from the server: rmyp -c. I would personally recommend to stop on this point, because you will never ever have any problems with NIS if you don't have it.
But I suppose, that you want to have your NIS configuration back. After NIS removal I'd try to reboot the server again and to see, that everything goes well and there are no other errors, such as hardware or network errors.
If the server starts without NIS, try to ping the NIS server, then check DNS and/or /etc/hosts.
If you have several DNS servers in your /etc/resolv.conf, try all of them:
If it is ok, you can try to configure NIS client again:
In this case AIX will broadcast to find a suitable server. You can try to specify NIS server:
But I would first try without the server - AIX should be able to find the server, and if it can't you have some problem with your NIS configuration. (But don't ask me which problem - I configured a NIS server last time in 1998).
Then check, that ypbind started:
If it is started, check which NIS server do you use:
If everything is ok at this point, you can check, that you see your users (with their passwords of course):
As a last step you can call me and we will discuss your future migration to LDAP, because NIS+ is not a part of AIX 7.2 anymore.

Had to reboot over 30 servers out of 70 or so during out of family code load. Still searching but may all have VxVM 3.5 in common. Our last window had similar outcome but on HPUX. I think it has to do with time outs and volume manager is offlining the devices. This just started happening. Anyone... (0 Replies)
in a single main() function,so need signal handling. Use Posix Message Queue IPC mechanism , can ignore the priority and other linked list message,to implement the scenario:
client:Knock Knock
server:who's there
client: Eric
Server:Eric,Welcome.
client:exit
all process terminated

YPPOLL(8) BSD System Manager's Manual YPPOLL(8)NAME
yppoll -- ask version of NIS map from NIS server
SYNOPSIS
yppoll [-T] [-h host] [-d domain] mapname
DESCRIPTION
yppoll asks a NIS server process for the order number and which host is the master server for mapname.
The options are as follows:
-T Use TCP protocol instead of UDP for request if the -h option is present.
-h host
Ask the NIS server process running on host for information about mapname. If host is not specified, the server polled is the default
server returned by ypwhich(1).
-d domain
Use the NIS domain domain instead of the default domain as returned by domainname(1).
