Run ypinit -c then reboot will let you specify new NIS servers.

See this link for more details.

Hi All,

I have done this with the help of an expert. Steps are below:

-> stop the nis/client service.
-> make the entry of slave server instead of earlier master in the file
/var/yp/binding/domain.com/ypservers
-> run /usr/sbin/ypinit -c

Hope, it will bind to a new slave server.

Thanks rhfrommn for your interest in my problem
