Alternatively, do following:

ipa-nis-manage disable

ldapsearch -xLLL -D "cn=Directory Manager" -W -s onelevel -b "cn=NIS Server,cn=plugins,cn=config" dn

You'll get list of DNs like this:
dn: nis-domain=<domain>+nis-map=ethers.byaddr,cn=NIS Server,cn=plugins,cn=config

dn: nis-domain=<domain>+nis-map=ethers.byname,cn=NIS Server,cn=plugins,cn=config

Run 
 ldapdelete -D "cn=Directory Manager" -W "<dn1>" "<dn2>" ...

where <dn..> is what you've got after "dn: "

This is how you can delete those entries.

After that, run 'ipa-nis-manage enable'.
