SUMMARY: boot problems (was disabling NIS)



This summary deals more with the hanging system we were experiencing
both trying to get to single user mode and in multi-user mode. The
symptoms were that in multiuser boot, the machine would hang after
stating:

NIS domain name is:

We were able to determine that svc:/network/initial:default was the
service that was hanging by booting with -m verbose. Once we
determined that was the service that was hanging up, we were able to
boot by issuing a -m milestone=none and then issued a svcadm disable
svc:/network/initial:default after which time the box started booting
normally.

We'll still not sure why the machine was insisting on displaying:

nis hostname is

at boot because we used svcadm to disable all NIS related services
with the following commands:

svcadm disable svc:/network/nis/server:default
svcadm disable svc:/network/nis/passwd:default
svcadm disable svc:/network/nis/update:default
svcadm disable svc:/network/nis/xfr:default
svcadm disable svc:/network/nis/client:default
svcadm disable svc:/network/rpc/nisplus:default
