If Support for Oracle RAC refers to the NIS name service, unavailability of the name service might cause the Support for Oracle RAC data service to fail.
Bypassing the NIS name service ensures that the Support for Oracle RAC data service does not refer to the NIS name service when the data service sets the user identifier (ID). The Support for Support for Oracle RAC data service sets the user ID when the data service starts or stops the database.
passwd: files nis publickey: files nis project: files nis group: files nis
Use the following command to display each lookup:
# svccfg -s svc:/system/name-service/switch listprop config/lookupname
To change a lookup entry, use the following command:
# svccfg -s svc:/system/name-service/switch \ setprop config/lookupname = astring: \"lookup-entry\"
For more information, see the svccfg(1M) and nsswitch.conf(4) man pages.
The following example sets the lookup order for the passwd database to have files before nis and displays the current setting.
# svccfg -s svc:/sysgtem/name-service/switch \ setprop config/password = astring: \"files nis\" # svccfg -s svc:/system/name-service/switch listprop config/password config/password astring "files nis"
