NIS Service
Note The HP NetStorage 6000 supports NIS service, but not NIS+ service.
The HP NetStorage 6000 allows you read-only, online access to the user
NIS file generated by the Network Information Services (NIS) service. In
order to see this file the NIS service must first be enabled.
To enable or disable NIS (disabled is the default) for User Accounts:
1 Using the NetStorage web interface, click the Configuration tab, then
select User Mapping > NIS User Accounts or User Mapping > NIS
Group Accounts.
2 Click on NIS Service.
3 Check or clear Enable NIS. If you are enabling NIS, enter the:
• master server’s IP address in the NIS Server field.
• appropriate NIS domain name in the NIS Domain field.
4 Click Apply. You do not need to restart the system.
The NIS files are automatically updated every 5 minutes when the NIS
service is enabled. If the service is disabled you see either stale data or an
informational message indicating that the file is empty.
