Hey
Seems like NIM master is not able to establish a shell to execute its command
I assume you are using communication protocol as "nimsh". you can check that by running the following @ client
grep -i nim_shell /etc/niminfo
Check the status of nimsh daemon @ NIM master & client
# lssrc -s nimsh (if inoperative start it)
Note: If everything if active, I would just delet the /etc/niminfo file from the CLIENT and register the server back..
Hope that helps

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!

ypwhich
ypwhich(1yp) ypwhich(1yp)
Name
ypwhich - determine which host is the current YP server or map master.
Syntax
ypwhich [-d domain] [-V1] [-V2] [hostname]
ypwhich [-d domain] [-m mname][-t]]
ypwhich -x
Description
The command identifies the YP server that currently supplies yellow pages services to a YP client. It also identifies which YP server is
the master for a map. If invoked without arguments, returns the host name of the YP server for the local machine. If hostname is speci-
fied, checks that machine to find out which YP master it is using.
Refer to and for an overview of the yellow pages.
Options
-V1
Identifies which server is serving v.1 YP protocol-speaking client processes.
-V2
Identifies which server is serving v.2 YP protocol-speaking client processes.
If neither version is specified, attempts to locate the server that supplies the current v.2 services. If there is no v.2 server cur-
rently bound, attempts to locate the server supplying the v.1 services. Since YP servers and YP clients are both backward compatible,
the user need seldom be concerned about which version is currently in use.
-d Uses domain instead of the current domain.
-m mname
Finds the master YP server for a map. No hostname can be specified with -m. The mname argument can be a mapname, or a nickname for a
map.
-t Inhibits nickname translation and is useful if there is a mapname identical to a nickname.
-x Displays the map nickname table. This option lists the nicknames (mnames) that the command knows of, and indicates the mapname associ-
ated with each nickname.
