My money would be on that you have a firewall blocking some of the ports between your servers. I'd suggest getting one of your firewall folks involved and see if they can figure out which ports are being blocked and then open them up.

We have two servers on another network and we finally gave them a second network adapter connected to the same network as our NIM server. We down the "other" network adapater, bring up the network adapter on our NIM network, push the upgrade/mksysb/etc, then down the NIM network, and finally bring back up the other network. This keeps the firewall configuration to a minimum and we can still do everything we need to.

you're write it was a firewall pb and the security NW guy doesn't want to change the rule. So I use another IP adress of a spare machine and did the installation and then reconfigure the nw.
Thanks a lot for the replies

Silly firewall guys. Don't they know they should always do what the AIX admins say?
