You can change the order in which Data ONTAP searches for host
information by editing the /etc/nsswitch.conf file.
- If the /etc/nsswitch.conf file does not exist in your storage system's root volume, create it.
- Edit the file, entering each line in the following format:
hosts: service
service is one or
more of the following: files, dns, nis.
- Save the file.
Example
To change the resolution order to use NIS
exclusively, change the hosts line to read as follows:
hosts: nis
