You can use System Manager to add, edit, and manage Network Information Service (NIS) domains.
Adding NIS domains
You can maintain host information centrally using NIS. You can use System Manager to add the NIS domain name of your storage system. Only one NIS domain can be active on a Storage Virtual Machine (SVM) at any given time.
Editing NIS domains
You can use System Manager to modify NIS domains based on the requirement for Storage Virtual Machine (SVM) authentication and authorization.
Managing NIS domains
A Network Information Service (NIS) domain provides a directory of hostnames and IP addresses in a network. A Storage Virtual Machine (SVM) administrator can manage NIS domains by creating, modifying, deleting, or displaying information about them. NIS cannot be configured for the cluster management server.
NIS window
The NIS window enables you to view the current NIS settings for your storage system.
