I've had good luck getting my NIM clients setup by doing this on machines that are already running:
On the NIM server, setup the remote machine as a NIM client.
smitty nim --> Perform NIM Administration Tasks --> Manage Machines --> Define a Machine --> [hostname of remote machine]
I set it up to use "nimsh" right off the bat because our security department hates rsh.
Once the NIM server is configured, log into the soon-to-be NIM client:
smitty nim --> Configure Network Installation Management Client Fileset --> [fill in the required fields (marked with *) and set "Communication Protocol used by client" to nimsh"]
After that is run, it should be setup as a NIM client.

showmount
showmount(1M) showmount(1M)
NAME
showmount - show all remote mounts
SYNOPSIS
[host]
DESCRIPTION
lists all clients that have remotely mounted a file system from host. This information is maintained by the server on host (see
mountd(1M)). The default value for host is the value returned by (see hostname(1)).
Options
Print all remote mounts in the format
where hostname is the name of the client, and directory is the root of the file system that has been mounted.
List directories that have been remotely mounted by clients.
Print the list of shared file systems.
WARNINGS
If a client crashes, executing on the server will show that the client still has a file system mounted. In other words, stale entries may
accumulate for clients that crash without sending an unmount request.
Also, if a client mounts the same remote directory twice, only one entry appears in Doing a of one of these directories removes the single
entry and no longer indicates that the remote directory is mounted.
FILES
