Full Discussion: Move NIS Server Solaris 10 to CentOS7
Top Forums UNIX for Advanced & Expert Users Move NIS Server Solaris 10 to CentOS7 Post 302978569 by Neo on Monday 1st of August 2016 10:16:22 AM

Just like when moving any server, you should set up NIS on your new OS choice (CentOS) and test it first (in the configuration you need) and then when it is working as expected (after checking log files for errors), then you plan your move.

The "required experience" is not really in a particular OS or a particular application; the necessary experience is understanding the importance of setting up everything "in the lab" and getting it working first, then doing the cut-over when you are confident all is working as required.
