How to Set Global Preferences for an Individual Machine

Run nisprefadm with the -G, and -C machine options.

#nisprefadm -G -a -C machine servers (preferences)

Where:

• -C machine identifies the machine the preferences will apply to. (Depending on the shell you are using, you may need to enclose machine in quotes.)

• servers(preferences) are one or more servers with optional preference ranking numbers.

  For example, to replace the current preferences for the machine cygnus with replica7 and replica9 both with a default preference number of zero:

polaris# nisprefadm -u -G -C cygnus replica7 replica9
