Hi,

I have a BULL SAN setup with four BULL EPC 810 systems with AIX 4.3.3 and HACMP 4.4.

Can I configure one system as the NIS master and other three systems as NIS slaves? JSiva here...
 
Jsiva,

This is no problem, Just ensure that you set the run time parameters for each node :

smitty cm_run_time.select

Host use NIS or name server = yes

Then if NIS causes a problem during failover HACMP will disable it. I have implemented a few clusters using NIS to sync. the user definitions.

Cheers

Thanks a lot PSD

Am on my way implementing NIS JSiva here...
 
Do you know where I can get some info on how to install NIS? I too need this for an HACMP environment. I want this to take care of my password resets/new when adding users or resetting them in an HACMP cluster. Right now, HACMP doesn't have any scripts that do this from server to server.
Any info would be great.
