NIM client boot problem
Hi all,

I have created VIO Server which serves 3 lpars. All of them are on VLAN ID 50.

From one lpar I installed and set up NIM master server called testAIX1.

Quote:
testAIX1:/ > lsnim -l master
master:
class = machines
type = master
max_nimesis_threads = 20
if_defined = chrp.64.ent
if_defined = chrp.mp.ent
if_defined = chrp.up.ent
comments = machine which controls the NIM environment
if_defined = rc=0.64.ent
if_defined = rc=0.mp.ent
platform = chrp
netboot_kernel = 64
if1 = network1 testAIX1 66F1F0004015
cable_type1 = N/A
Cstate = ready for a NIM operation
prev_state = ready for a NIM operation
Mstate = currently running
serves = AIX71_TL00_SP01_mksysb
serves = AIX71_TL00_SP01_spot
serves = boot
serves = nim_script
master_port = 1058
registration_port = 1059
reserved = yes
I have created client and allocated resources to it:

Code:
testAIX1:/ > lsnim -l test_lpar
test_lpar:
   class          = machines
   type           = standalone
   connect        = shell
   platform       = chrp
   netboot_kernel = 64
   if1            = network1 test_lpar 0
   cable_type1    = N/A
   Cstate         = BOS installation has been enabled
   prev_state     = not running
   Mstate         = not running
   boot           = boot
   mksysb         = AIX71_TL00_SP01_mksysb
   nim_script     = nim_script
   spot           = AIX71_TL00_SP01_spot
   control        = master

Code:
testAIX1:/ > exportfs
/export/spot/AIX71_TL00_SP01_spot/usr -ro,root=test_lpar,access=test_lpar
/export/mksysb/AIX71_TL00_SP01_mksysb -ro,root=test_lpar,access=test_lpar
/export/nim/scripts/test_lpar.script  -ro,root=test_lpar,access=test_lpar

I have set up IPL on test_lpar with correct NIM master server IP and GW.

And /etc/hosts file contains entry for NIM server and NIM client.

But I can not boot from it. From NIM master server from log file I got:

Code:
<Tue Oct 25 16:43:54 CDT 2011> <master> <7208992> <warning: warning: 0042-226 m_bos_inst:  A time-out occurred while attempting to initiate
        the bos_inst operation on the client.  The operation may not
        have started successfully.>

And time out from SMS of test_lpar client of NIM master server.

Could you tell me what am I doing wrong? Please.

Thank you.
