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.

Friend's,
I was playing around with NIM in my environment & had a quick question in mind which I didn't/couldn't find answer to, which is -- how to find the name of the NIM server sitting on the NIM client?
All leads to the answer would be much appreciated, many thanks!

Name
prestoctl_svc - Prestoserve control daemon
Syntax
/usr/etc/prestoctl_svc [ -n ]
Description
The RPC-based daemon allows remote client systems to monitor and administer a Prestoserve cache and its driver. The client system does not
have to be running the Prestoserve software. The daemon can be started manually, or it can be started each time you reboot by adding the
command to the file of the machine running the Prestoserve software.
You must run the daemon if you want remote client systems to be able to use the command to monitor and manage your system and if you want
to use the command. Refer to and to for more information.
Options
-n Allows remote client systems to manage a Prestoserve cache and its driver. The -n option allows remote client systems to change the
size of a Prestoserve cache and to change the state of a Prestoserve cache by using remote procedure calls. The -n option is useful
when evaluating or demonstrating Prestoserve capabilities. Because of security problems, it is recommended that the -n option not
be used on production machines.
