Move NIS master to new Solaris 10 server and make old Solaris 8 master a sl

I have added a new Sunfire v440 server to my network; I need to make it the NIS master.

Current NIS configuration: Ultra60 (Solaris 8) is NIS master, Samba server, license server and NFS file server; v440 (Solaris 10) is a NIS slave,

Ultra10 (Solaris 8) is a NIS slave.

Planned NIS configuration: v440 is NIS master, Samba server, and license server; Ultra60 is NIS slave and file server; Ultra10 is NIS slave.

What are the steps to swap roles of the NIS master/slave, with minimal downtime on a production system?

The transition kit should help you out some -

if you're looking specifically for 10 refs, http://docs.sun.com/app/docs/doc/816-4558/6maotq3ti?q=new+nis+master - however it moreso references NIS+

someone else may have better suggestions here - jeff
