Full Discussion: NIM host name change
Operating Systems AIX NIM host name change Post 302257410 by isatis31 on Wednesday 12th of November 2008 05:08:25 AM

Hi,

Try this command : smitty nim_ch_if1 fastpath.

I have changed the NIM master's hostname with this few weeks ago.

The command update the master and try to update the clients (/etc/niminfo) if the NIM_SHELL variable is set to "nimsh".

If not, you have to modify the /etc/niminfo on the client side and restart the nimsh service with stopsrc/startsrc.
