To assign server preferences in the global table for all the machines on a subnet:
Run nisprefadm with the -G and -C subnet options.
#nisprefadm -G -a -C subnet servers (preferences) |
Where:
-C subnet identifies the IP number of the subnet the preferences will apply to.
servers(preferences) are one or more servers with optional preference ranking numbers.
For example, to specify that the subnet 172.22.123.123 uses the nismaster and replica3 servers with a default preference number of zero and the manf.replica6 server with a preference number of 1, type the following.
polaris# nisprefadm -a -G -C 172.22.123.123 nismaster1 \ replica3 "manf.replica6(1)" |
