HI,

We have to install the patch-id 103187-42 to remove a NIS+ replica.
NIS+ is very bad.
Thanks to all.

1. Log in as root on the root master.
2. nisrmdir -f -s replica_name org_dir.domain.name
3. nisrmdir -f -s replica_name groups_dir.domain.name
4. nisrmdir -f -s replica_name domain.name
5. log in as root on the replica server
6. kill rpc.nisd and nis_cachemgr
7. cd /var/nis
8. rm everything except NIS_COLD_START & NIS_SHARED_DIRCACHE
9. start nis_cachemgr

I hope this help:)

In mail.sun-managers you write:

>Anyone known how to remove a Root NIS+ Replica?
>We use Solaris 2.5

on the NIS+ master server do this

# REPLICA=<name of replica>
# DOMAIN=`domainname`

# nisrmdir -s $REPLICA groups_dir.$DOMAIN.
# nisrmdir -s $REPLICA org_dir.$DOMAIN.
# nisrmdir -s $REPLICA $DOMAIN.
# nisupdkeys groups_dir.$DOMAIN.
# nisupdkeys org_dir.$DOMAIN.
# nisupdkeys $DOMAIN.

# nisping -C

If some of the 'nisrmdir' fails try 'nisrmdir -f ...'

After that you have to kill rpc.nisd on the replica server

Hi Marita,

In the following, "nis+domain." represents whatever your nisplus domain is.
Assume you want to remove the replica "bogus". The information below is for
a simple, one level domain. Make sure you do the "nisrmdir" commands on a
replica or the master, and the "rm" commands on "bogus".

On the master or another replica:
        nisrmdir -fs bogus groups_dir.nis+domain.
        nisrmdir -fs bogus org_dir.nis+domain.
        nisrmdir -fs bogus nis+domain.

On "bogus":
        Then in the "/var/nis" directory of "bogus" remove all but the NIS_*
files i.e. remove the "data.dict", "data/" and data.log".

The reboot "bogus" and all should be well.

Cheers, Jeff
