Configure the unix nis server to use the NIS server as the master server

Configure the unix nis server to use the NIS server as the master server
To change the UNIX-based Network Information Service (NIS) server from the master server to the slave server, also known as the secondary server), follow these steps.

To configure the unix nis server to use the NIS server as the master server
Migrate ing from the UNIX master NIS server.

By providing the name of the new NIS server for each ing, the ing in the old master server is transmitted to other slave NIS servers. At the command prompt, type:

Ypxfr-h newserver mapname

Newserver is the name of the new NIS master server, and mapname is the name of the ing to be transferred.

Run this command for each ing on each slave server.

After this step is performed, the UNIX slave server should be able to identify the new "NIS Server" master server.
