How to Add Automount Support by Using NIS+

1. Log in to the NIS+ domain as an authorized user.

   You must have read and write access to the tables in the NIS+ org_dir directory.

2. Ensure that the auto_master table includes an entry for the auto_direct automount map.

   $ niscat auto_master.org_dir /net -hosts -nosuid /home auto_home /- auto_direct

   If the auto_direct entry appears in the output, proceed to Step 4. If the entry does not appear, go to the next step.

3. Add the auto_direct entry to the auto_master table.

   $ nistbladm -a key=/- value=auto_direct auto_master.org_dir

   Verify that the entry has been added to the table.

   $ niscat auto_master.org_dir /net -hosts -nosuid /home auto_home /- auto_direct

4. Ensure that the auto_direct table exists.

   $ nisls auto_direct.org_dir auto_direct.org_dir.your-domain.

   If the auto_direct table appears in the output, proceed to Failed Cross Reference FormatStep 6. If the table does not appear, go to the next step.

5. Create the auto_direct table.

   $ nistbladm -D access=og=rmcd,w=r,n= -c automount_map key=S,\ nogw= value=,nogw= auto_direct.org_dir.`nisdefaults -d`

   Verify that the table has been created.

   $ nisls auto_direct.org_dir auto_direct.org_dir.your-domain.

   Proceed to Failed Cross Reference FormatStep 7.

6. Look for a pre-existing Solstice AutoClient entry.

   A table entry supporting an earlier version of the Solstice AutoClient software may be present.

   $ niscat auto_direct.org_dir | grep SUNWadm

   If an entry similar to the following appears, proceed to Failed Cross Reference FormatStep 8.

   /opt/SUNWadm server-name:/install-dir/$CPU/SUNWadm

   In this example,

   server-name	Is the Solstice administration system host name.
   install-dir	Is the path to the Solstice AutoClient 2.1 software location (usually /export/opt).

   If the entry does not appear, go to the next step.

7. Add the entry designating the location of the Solstice AutoClient 2.1 software.

   ---

   Note -

   If you chose an installation location other than the /export/opt directory, be sure to indicate the correct path in this command.

   ---

   $ nistbladm -a key=/opt/SUNWadm \ value=server-name:/export/opt/\$CPU/SUNWadm \ auto_direct.org_dir.`nisdefaults -d`

   In this command,

   server-name

   Is the Solstice administration system host name.

   Verify that the entry has been added to the table.

   $ niscat auto_direct.org_dir /opt/SUNWadm server-name:/export/opt/$CPU/SUNWadm

8. Add the entry designating the location of the Solstice AutoClient 2.1 data area.

   ---

   Note -

   If you chose an installation location other than the /export/opt directory, be sure to indicate the correct path in this command.

   ---

   $ nistbladm -a key=/opt/SUNWadmd \ value=server-name:/export/opt/all/SUNWadmd \ auto_direct.org_dir.`nisdefaults -d`

   In this command,

   server-name

   Is the Solstice administration system host name.

   Verify that the entry has been added to the table.

   $ niscat auto_direct.org_dir /opt/SUNWadm server-name:/export/opt/$CPU/SUNWadm /opt/SUNWadmd server-name:/export/opt/all/SUNWadmd

9. Log in as root to all Solstice administration systems in the NIS+ name service domain and run the automount command.

   # /usr/sbin/automount

   Running this command enables the system to use the new (or updated) automount table.
