1.Commented out line in inetd.conf "bootps"
2. run
Code:
/usr/sbin/bootpd -s -d -d -d
3. Created another partition in another managed system (no VIOS there) and used HEA logical port
And I was able to boot up. So I think I have something wrong with VIOS if I can not boot via virtual ethernet adapter but I can ping NIM master.
Here's config of VIOS:
Code:
$ lsdev -virtual

All of them are on vlan ID 50.
Any idea?

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!
