I guess my main question now is whether you did find the documentations on nimol.

I am looking for the nimol equivalence for nim "lsnim"....

Other than that, i cannot help much...my nimol_backup worked ok (after 2 days of strugeling) but i was not able to boot the client and "load" the mksysb.

Also, i you have any usefull info about bootp and lpar_netboot and their possible error that will b great..

Have fun and take care,

I have the NIMOL environment setup on my SUSE10 enterprise server. I can fire off a TFTP boot which is running all the time. However when I turn on the 43p it sends a BOOTP request which I believe is answered with a DHCP address allocation. This is the problem I believe, the 43p does not understand the reply and is expecting a tftp reply instead as the normal NIM operation. Also forget lsnim as there is no such command I believe the alternative is nimol-config -l but I might be wrong.

Why don't you want just buy a second hand p5 machine, B80.

Used IBM pSeries 640 Model B80, Used IBM pSeries Server, Refurbished IBM pSeries Server and IBM pSeries Server Parts.

I bought it last year, only $400 with 2 cpu, 4g, 2 36Ghd, etc.

I tested it with aix 5.3/6, works fine.

As far as i remember my networking bouts DHCP is a superset of bootp (see RFC 1534 here and perhaps RFC 1533 here).

It should be possible to tweak the DHCP daemon to answer bootp requests correctly (by bootp means only).
