@Mods
I might be the cause of the double post as I said here is an AIX subforum, as usual...

Maybe move
nim mksysb - 0042-124 c_ch_nfsexp error
to here, ty

I don t know how to move it to here... sorry.

nobody have any explanation ? I am still waiting for any idea.

You need to check that your version of bos.sysmgt.sysbr which should be 5.3.0.53. This is IY88806 (probably)

You may be able to work around the problem by setting LANG to C

could you please post your complete command line or that part of script.

i too face lot of problem with mksysb's when i am trying to take to nim.

thanks

Zaxxon has already pointed out the problem in the other thread:

Thread opener perhaps tries to create an mksysb resource using NIM from the NIM master but already has NFS-exported (probably manually) parts or the whole exports directory. As NIM creates a new entry in /etc/exports and reexports all the NFS shares (again) this leads to all kinds of problems.

Solution: remove you manually created NFS share from /etc/exports during NIM operations. This is a known issue with NIM.

I hope this helps.
