Manage NIS server domains

The Network Information Service (NIS) consists of a directory service protocol for maintaining and distributing system configuration information, such as user and group information, hostnames, and e-mail aliases to network hosts. For example, to back up data on file system shares, some NDMP products require information from NIS servers to back up file system data.

NIS server addresses are grouped under domains, which are identified by domain IDs.

The following table lists the attributes for NIS servers domains.

Table 1. NIS server domain attributes
Attribute Description
NAS server ID of the associated NAS server.
Domain Name of the NIS server domain.
Servers List of IP addresses of the NIS servers in the domain.
Replication sync Indicates the status of the NIS server addresses list in the NAS server operating as a replication destination. When a replicated NIS servers list is created on the source NAS server, it is automatically synchronized to the destination. Valid values are:
  • Not replicated – NIS list is not replicated over to the destination.
  • Auto synchronized – NIS list is automatically synchronized over to the replication destination. Any modify or delete operations at the source will automatically be reflected on the destination.
  • Overridden – NIS list has been manually modified or overridden on the replication destination. Modifications or deletions of addresses from the NIS list on the source NAS server will have no effect on the overridden NIS list on the replication destination.
NOTE:When a NIS list is disabled or deleted from the source, overridden NIS list in the destination may not get disabled or deleted automatically.
Source servers List of IP addresses for the NIS servers defined on the replication source.
