Bug Inquiry: NIS configuration setup

Hello,

Good day. I would like to ask for your inputs on this scenario.

Currently, we have a NIS virtual machine with a Solaris 10 (32-bit) OS. And also we have another virtual machine with the same OS. And I am asked to set-up a secondary NIS on this another VM, bring down the primary NIS and start the secondary.

If I am right, I will start from scratch? Do the steps of NIS configuration and installation on the secondary VM. But my problem is, how can I sync the primary to the secondary? Is this mean to copy all the passwd, shadow, group on the secondary VM? Otherwise, can someone please advise how will I do this? thank you.

ypwhich - return name of NIS server or map master SYNOPSIS
ypwhich [-d domain] [ [-t] -m [mname] | [-Vn] hostname] ypwhich -x DESCRIPTION
ypwhich returns the name of the NIS server that supplies the NIS name services to a NIS client, or which is the master for a map.

Refer to ypfiles(4) for an overview of the NIS name services. OPTIONS

No hostname can be specified with -m. mname can be a mapname, or a nickname for a map. When mname is omitted, produce a list of available maps. -x Display the map nickname translation table. -Vn Version of ypbind, V3 is default. ATTRIBUTES
