104The Data Store Conversion wizard enables you to convert the Solaris DHCP data store from one format to another.   Choose Convert Data Store from the Services menu to start the wizard.
105<P>
106The Data Store Conversion wizard asks you to supply the following information.

109<table border=0 cellspacing=4 cellpadding=3 width=490>

112	</td>
113	<td valign="top">Select the new data store type you want to use.
114	<P>
115	Text files are recommended if you are serving a small number of
116	DHCP clients, less than 10,000.
117
118	<P>Binary files are recommended in sites having a very large number
119	of clients and no sharing is required among DHCP servers.
120
121	<P>NIS+ is recommended if you are already using NIS+ for name service,
122	and if you have an environment with multiple DHCP servers, so that the
123	information can be shared by all the DHCP servers in the NIS+ domain.
124	<P>
125<STRONG>Note:</STRONG> If the server is not already configured as a NIS+ client, you cannot select the NIS+ option.  To use NIS+ for the data store, cancel the wizard, configure the server as a NIS+ client, and run DHCP Manager again.
