Since this procedure is essentially the same as the procedure shown in "How to Populate the Root Master Server Tables", this example shows you only what you would type to populate the tables of the new domain, sales.doc.com. For more information about this procedure, see "How to Populate the Root Master Server Tables".
This script should be run on the new domain's master server, not the root master server.
The alternate methods of populating the master server tables on the new master server are:
You can populate master server tables from files.
You can populate master server tables from NIS maps.
Whichever method you choose should be executed in a scrolling window as the script's output might otherwise scroll off the screen.
To populate master server tables from files, type the following commands.
client2# nispopulate -F -p /nis+files -d sales.doc.com. NIS+ domain name : sales.doc.com. Directory Path : /nis+files Is this information correct? (type 'y' to accept, 'n' to change |
To populate master server tables from NIS maps, type the following commands.
client2# nispopulate -Y -d sales.doc.com. -h businessmachine -a IP_addr_of_NIS_server -y business.doc.com NIS+ Domain name : sales.doc.com. NIS (YP) domain : business.doc.com NIS (YP) server hostname : businessmachine Is this information correct? (type 'y' to accept, 'n' to change) |
