You can configure your storage system to use one or more NIS
servers either during the setup procedure or later using
the Data ONTAP command line or FilerView.
If you configure NIS later, you need to do all of the
following:
- Specify the NIS server to which your storage system should bind
- Specify the NIS domain name of your storage system
- Enable NIS on your storage system
You cannot configure the NIS slave during the setup
procedure. To configure the NIS slave after the setup
procedure is complete, you need to enable NIS slave by setting the
option nis.slave.enable to on.
