 104 The 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>
 106 The Data Store Conversion wizard asks you to supply the following information.

 108 
 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.
