Solaris Naming Setup and Configuration Guide

Setting Up FNS--Overview

After your Solaris 7 release software is installed, you must perform the following tasks to set up FNS:

  1. Make sure that your servers can handle FNS. See "Determining Resource Requirements".

  2. Prepare your namespace for FNS. See "Preparing the Namespace for FNS".

  3. Set up the FNS namespace contexts. There are two ways to do this:

    1. Globally create all contexts in one process. See "Creating Global FNS Namespace Contexts".

    2. Individually create your FNS contexts. See Solaris Naming Administration Guide.

  4. Set up FNS replica servers. See "Replicating FNS Service".

Depending on the size of the organization, you should allow several hours for the FNS setup to be completed, plus additional time for namespace preparation.
