Hammer & Screwdriver problem adding NIM client
Hello All,
While trying to add NIM client to the NIM environment from NIM client machine, I get the following error:
1800-109
There are currently no additional SMIT screen entries available for this item. This may require installation of additional software before it can be accessed.

bos.sysmgt.nim.master
bos.sysmgt.nim.client, is already installed in master
and
bos.sysmgt.nim.client, is also also already installed in client.
nimsh daemon is running in master.

I can put this client into NIM environment from NIM master, but not from NIM client.
When I try to query NIM client from master, i get the following error:
<client name> refused to communicate with the master.
All I am trying to do is run the mksysb script on the NIM master as a cron job to backup client.

Here are something i would like to know from experts:
1) Do I need to add client name in the /etc/hosts of master?
2) Is it necessary to make sure that nimsh daemon is also running in client as well?

your help will be appreciated.

thanks in advance.

Name
       nfs - Network File System

Description
       The Network File System (NFS) is a specific file system implemented under the Generic File System Interface, as described in

       NFS  provides  support  for sharing ordinary files and directories in a multivendor networking environment.  The system administrator for a
       file server machine makes a file system available for remote access by placing the name of the file system to be shared in an export  list.
       The  administrator for a client machine can import a file system from any server machine that has granted access permission to the request-
       ing client machine.  A complete exported file system or any subtree of an exported file system can be imported by the client machine.  Once
       imported, users on the client machine can access files in the remote file system as though they were local files.
