Thank you to Daryl McKinnon, who had 2 suggestions. I plan to work on this
next week. The suggestions are as follows:
Option 1:
Use the following steps to make a copy of the NIS+ files before the
upgrade
(I would suggest single user mode):
# tar cf /nis_save.tar /var/nis /etc/.rootkey /etc/nsswitch.conf
/etc/defaultdomain
Then after the upgrade, again in single user mode, untar the files.
You
should be ok (I've done this a few times).
Of course I'd make a backup of the entire system just in case
anything else
went wrong.
Option 2:
You could also make a standard NIS+ client, make it a replica server
and promote it to a master. You would have to downgradee the original master
to a normal client. Then upgrade the OS on the old master, and point to the
new server for NIS+ services. Once the upgrade is done, you can promote it
back to being a master server.
