NIM client installation hangs at 0608
I have checked at server side everything seems ok. Thus the clinet and server is in same network no question of gateway, so for time being I have given the gateway as server IP only. Now wonder is I am able to install OS using same NIM server for 6.1 with which I have created NIM. I am using the same client for restore. But when I use 5.3 mksysb and spot for installation it gets stuck at 0608. I have checked the tftp working also, its working fine.
Please suggest

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!

bootparams
BOOTPARAMS(5) BSD File Formats Manual BOOTPARAMS(5)
NAME
bootparams -- boot parameter database
SYNOPSIS
/etc/bootparams
DESCRIPTION
The bootparams file specifies the boot parameters that diskless(8) clients may request when booting over the network. Each client supported
by this server must have an entry in the bootparams file containing the servers and pathnames for its root, area. It may optionally contain
swap, dump, and other entry types.
Each line in the file (other than comment lines that begin with a #) specifies the client name followed by the pathnames that the client may
request by their logical names. Names are matched in a case-insensitive fashion, and may also be wildcarded using shell-style globbing char-
acters.
The components of the line are delimited with blank or tab, and may be continued onto multiple lines with a backslash.
For example:
dummy root=server:/export/dummy/root
swap=server:/export/dummy/swap
dump=server:/export/dummy/swap
gateway=router:255.255.255.0
When the client named "dummy" requests the pathname for its logical "root" it will be given server ``server'' and pathname
``/export/dummy/root'' as the response to its RPC request.
netra[1-5]www* root=server:/export/jumpstart/netra_www
When any client with a name matching the pattern "netra[1-5]www*" requests the pathname for its logical "root" it will be given server
``server'' and pathname ``/export/jumpstart/netra_www'' as the response to its RPC request. As this example implies, this is useful for set-
ting up Jumpstart servers for Sun clients.
NOTES
The server does not default to the localhost, and must be filled in.
