NIM - mksysb of remote server
Hi,
I'm trying to use my NIM server to get a mksysb of an lpar on another machine on my network.
I'm trying to define a resource through smitty and i've entered the resource name, Server of resource & location of resource, they are as follows
Resource Name : gmt_fail_mksysb
Server of Resource : gmt_fail
Location of resource : /export/nim/images
When I try to do this I get the following error
0042-001 nim: processing error encountered on "master":
0042-006 m_mkbosi: (From_Master) connect Error 0
rshd: 0826-813 Permission is denied.
rshd: 0826-813 Permission is denied.
Can anyone shed some light on how to do this? PLEASE

I am implementing mksysb backups using NIM. I am using nimsh as client communication and mksysb backup are working fine, but this requires remote logon to be enabled for root.
Any thoughts on how can I implement mksysb backups using NIM without enabling remote logon for "root" ? (1 Reply)

working through VIOS backup options. Generally, we store mksysb's on a server and then NFS mount them from it to copy to a VIO optical library, etc.
In the case of a VIO backup, I see the -mksysb option to backupios and understand that it doesn't include the NIM resources in the backup.
