Toasters- An update on this posting I made last month:
We discovered that by disabling Solaris IP Network Multipathing which we use on the Solaris 8 NIS master and slave to provide network redundancy, the filers bind successfully.
Just curious out of the respondents who said "I'm using Solaris 8 NIS and DataONTAP just fine", is there anyone else who is using the Solaris 8 IPNM functionality with NIS and DataONTAP?
We use Solaris 8 NIS slaves with Netapps, but we don't use IPNM on our slaves.

Toasters-
A rather interesting update for everyone on the problem I posted yesterday with an 880c and FAS960c clusters that refused to bind to a Solaris 8 NIS server.
Just to help us isolate the problem between OS and NIS, we initialized a Solaris 2.6 system, as a NIS slave to the Solaris 8 NIS server that we couldn't get the filers to bind to. Surprisingly, the FAS960c bound with no problems to the Solaris 2.6 NIS slave. To us, this rules out a configuration issue with the NIS domain itself and focuses the problem back to an apparent Solaris 8 NIS/DataONTAP incompatibility.
I was somewhat surprised that no one replied that they are using Solaris 8 NIS with DataONTAP. I have updated the tech support case I have opened with both Sun and NetApp and I'll keep the list informed as the solution moves along.
Thanks, Brent Killion
