I have a question regarding SLAVE NIS SERVER in aix.
We are using NIS master of Sun Solaris 9.0 which is on different subnet i.e. 10.197.93.0. And Our slave server is having AIX 5.3 installed which is on 10.207.13.0 subnet.
I have a query regarding its name and ip address change of Slave server only.
Due to our Local Area Network configuration changes i want to change its IP address and hostname also. Will it work as it is acting as a NIS slave server??????? My new IP range is starting from 10.192.20.0
Or i have to do some another changes with NIS Slave configuration on this slave server.????
I have serached on it but nothing found what precautions i have to take for this change of IP and Hostname.
Hi guys,
In my Sol-10 i setup NIS server following the oracle doc and setup a Linux as NIS client all went ok.
I added another Sol-10 and configure it as a NIS slave server following the oracle doc again. and added the server on the yp.conf on my NIS client
How do i test if my NIS slave... (3 Replies)
Hello - This could be a stupid question. But can we configure NIS with different flavors of UNIX. Like Master on AIX and slave on Solaris?

Anyone have a clue about this?
I have checked the MySQL documentation and it does not seem possible to exclude a row of a table from replication between Master and Slave. It seems that replication in MySQL can only be managed at the table level, not at the row level.

Thanks,

Our NIS master server went down. We have since fixed it and brought it back up. However all of are machines still point to the slave server when looking at it with ypwhich. My question is how do i point the servers back to the master.

ypinit(1M)ypinit(1M)NAME
ypinit - build and install Network Information Service databases
SYNOPSIS
NIS_domain]
NIS_server_name NIS_domain]
Remarks
The Network Information Service (NIS) was formerly known as Yellow Pages (YP). Although the name has changed, the functionality of the
service remains the same.
DESCRIPTION
is a shell script that creates Network Information Service (NIS) databases on either a master or slave NIS server. asks a few self-
explanatory questions, and reports success or failure to the terminal. For an overview of Network Information Service, see ypfiles(4) and
ypserv(1M).
Options
recognizes the following options and command-line arguments:
Create the local host as the master server to all maps (databases)
provided in the NIS domain (see domainname(1)). All maps are built from scratch, either from information pro-
vided to at run-time, or from ASCII files in All such files should be complete and unabbreviated, unlike how
they may exist on a NIS client machine (see passwd(4) for examples of abbreviated files).
See ypmake(1M) for more information on how NIS databases are built on the master server. Note that uses the
option when invoking so newly formed maps are not immediately copied to slave servers (see ypmake(1M)).
Create NIS databases on a slave server by copying the databases from an existing NIS server that serves the NIS domain.
The NIS_server_name argument should be the host name of either the master server for all the maps or a server on
which the maps are current and stable.
Configures the local host as a NIS client, so that the NIS client
will attempt to bind to a particular NIS server. Invocation of with a option prompts the user to construct a
list of NIS servers, in the order of preference, to which the client will try to bind. Each of these NIS
servers must be listed in the file along with its IP Address. This list of NIS servers is stored in the file
This file is used by when invoked without the option. (See ypbind(1M) in ypserv(1M)).
If it is so desired that it is not necessary for a NIS client to bind to a NIS server in a particular list, the
installation mechanism could be ignored.
Causes to construct maps for the specified NIS_domain. defaults to the NIS domain shown by the command (see domain-
name(1).
RETURN VALUE
returns exit code 0 if no errors occur; otherwise, it returns exit code 1.
