sm_config may have trouble contacting other node in the cluster in an NIS+ environment. By default, the NIS+ version of /etc/nsswitch.conf specifies the services entry as: nisplus [NOTFOUND=return] files. Since the /etc/services file is modified and used by SUNWsma and other packages, the /etc/nsswitch.conf entry should be as follows:
services: files nisplus |
Place the term files first before other entries.
