NIM client installation hangs at 0608
Hi All,
I am facing very strange problem. I have created NIM server with 6.1 TL4SP3. I am having SPOT and MKsysb of the same version. I am able to install the client using this spot and mksysb. Now I got the requirement of installing the 5.3 ML11SP3 client. So using the mksysb of 5.3 ML11SP3, I have created one spot but when tried to install the client using this spot and mksysb of 5.3 it is getting stuck at 0608. I have also copied bosinst_data from base cd and assigned for installation, still it is getting stuck at 0608. One more thing I am trying on the same client where I have installed 6.1 using same NIM so no problem of network. Also NIM client is having just one adapter. client.info file is ok and /tftpboot is also ok, permission wise and other configuration. What must be stucking to install 5.3. As per my knowledge spot and mksysb is enough for installation, is it something else which is blocking specific for 5.3. Please guide.
Thanks

Hi.
I change my client's IP and hostname but I forgot to change anything on the master. How can I redefine or modify my client's resource from my master, or with using smit niminit from my client ?

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!
