Document Your Current NIS Namespace

Documenting your current configuration will give you a clear point of departure for the transition. Make a list of the following items:

• Name and location of all current NIS domains and networks

• Host name and location of all current NIS servers, both master and slave

• Configuration of all current NIS servers, including:

  • Host name

  • CPU type

  • Memory size

  • Disk space available

  • Name of administrators with root access

• Nonstandard NIS maps

Correlate the list of your NIS clients with their eventual NIS+ domains. They must be upgraded to the current Solaris operating environment.
