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.

bootptest
BOOTPTEST(8) System Manager's Manual BOOTPTEST(8)
NAME
bootptest - send BOOTP queries and print responses
SYNOPSIS
bootptest [ -f bootfile ] [ -h ] [ -m magic_number ] server-name [template-file]
DESCRIPTION
bootptest sends BOOTP requests to the host specified as server-name at one-second intervals until either a response is received, or until
ten requests have gone unanswered. After a response is received, bootptest will wait one more second listening for additional responses.
OPTIONS
-f bootfile
Fill in the boot file field of the request with bootfile.
-h Use the hardware (Ethernet) address to identify the client. By default, the IP address is copied into the request indicating that
this client already knows its IP address.
-m magic_number
Initialize the first word of the vendor options field with magic_number.
A template-file may be specified, in which case bootptest uses the (binary) contents of this file to initialize the options area of the
request packet.
CREDITS
The bootptest program is a combination of original and derived works. The main program module (bootptest.c) is original work by Gordon W.
Ross gwr@mc.com. The packet printing module (print-bootp.c) is a slightly modified version of a file from the BSD tcpdump program.
This program includes software developed by the University of California, Lawrence Berkeley Laboratory and its contributors. (See the
