You need to log on to your VIO server and configure it as a NIM client. Here are the steps:

as root on the VIO server
smitty nim --> Configure Network Installation Management Client Fileset
Machine Name = Local VIO hostname
Primary Network Interface = VIO server's interface card (Esc-4 to choose)
Host Name of Network Install Master = NIM Server hostname

Press enter, then enter again to confirm. That should make it a NIM client.

I usually set the communication protocol to "nimsh".

Try putting the nimsrv01 in your /etc/hosts file. It may need to be there. You could also try the fully qualified hostname of your NIM server.
