Perhaps the criteria for being identified as a NIM master is not a NIM master setup but the mere existence of the corresponding fileset.... Assuming that the master fileset is bos.sysmgt.nim.master (writing from memory) try this as root:
Code:
# lslpp -l bos.sysmgt.nim.master && installp -ugx bos.sysmgt.nim.master

so that only the client fileset remains. Then try to register the client with the real master again.

NAME

       ypwhich - return name of NIS server or map master

SYNOPSIS

       ypwhich [-d domain] [ [-t] -m [mname] | [-Vn] hostname]

       ypwhich -x

DESCRIPTION

       ypwhich	returns  the  name  of	the  NIS server that supplies the  NIS name services to a NIS client, or which is the master for a map. If
       invoked without arguments, it gives the NIS server for the local machine.  If hostname is specified, that machine is queried  to  find  out
       which NIS master it is using.

       Refer to ypfiles(4) for an overview of the  NIS name services.

OPTIONS

       -d domain    Use domain instead of the default domain.

       -t	    This option inhibits map nickname translation.

       -m mname     Find  the master NIS server for a map.  No hostname can be specified with -m. mname can be a mapname, or a nickname for a map.
		    When mname is omitted, produce a list of available maps.

       -x	    Display the map nickname translation table.

       -Vn	    Version of	ypbind, V3 is default.
