Before pinning up anything it's important to assess all the variables.
For instance, upon forcibly rebooting a x86 with a few Solaris 11 zones, one of them acting as a NFS server, within a NIS services infrastructure something odd happened; the following values simply vanished:
- The config/* of name-service/switch SMF service.
- The config/domainname of nis/domain SMF service.
- The sharectl nfsmapid_domain.
The resolution was simply reentering the correct values, of course.
But until narrow down to what was wrong the symptoms were diverse:
- The NIS users were not being able to log in.
- The NFS server was not resolving any uid and gid.
- The NIS clients were listing nobody for user and group.
Nevertheless it's most important to determine the cause.
In my specific case I suspect of the well known:
Using ZFS Storage Pools in VirtualBoxYes, I'm using VirtualBox for composing many posts.
Yes, due to a video adapter failure the host system had to be halted for repair.
And, yes, I haven't enabled the cache flushing on the VMs.
