The problem ended up being that some how our network adapter speed setting had changed from auto/auto to 100 Full. After we booted to the SMS menu and changed it back to auto/auto, the mksysb restored fine. I didn't get to test the "no-NIM-server-in-the-/etc/hosts" theory. I'm just glad it is back up and running now.
Lesson learned: Possible network problems? Check your network settings first.

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)

ifplugd.conf(5) File Formats Manual ifplugd.conf(5)
NAME
ifplugd.conf - ifplugd configuration file
SYNOPSIS
/etc/ifplugd/ifplugd.conf
DESCRIPTION
ifplugd.conf is the configuration file for ifplugd. It is a shell script that is sourced by the init script starting the daemon. It shall
be used to set environment variables which are interpreted by the init script:
OPTIONS
INTERFACES
Specifies the ethernet interfaces to monitor. It has to contain a space seperated list of network interfaces names. Most users will
probably use "eth0" here, however you may add additional interfaces for monitoring more than one device. A special value is sup-
ported as well: "auto" will enable a more or less working auto detection of available network devices. This won't make you happy
when using network module auto loading, since it cannot detect currently unloaded network devices.
ARGS Additional command line arguments for ifplugd invocation. See ifplugd(8) for further information.
ARGS_iface
If specified for an interface this variable takes precedence over ARGS. This may be useful if more than one network device is
present.
