Right the good news is the NIM server knows that the LPAR is there and ready to be installed. It also knows that certain resources are allocated to it.
Please excuse me if I am "Teaching my Granny how to suck eggs".
How did you try to boot the LPAR, from the NIM server? Or have you started the LPAR to SMS and setup the network boot configuration. This as you well know includes the IP address of the server, its subnet mask, and the IP address of the gateway. You can then PING the NIM master to make sure the network between the NIM master and client is open with no firewall in the way, which often happens.
Again if I am telling you things you already know please excuse me. The things I have outlined above are the usual reasons a NIM client will not boot from the NIM master.

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!

Name
ypsetup - set up the yellow pages (YP) environment
Syntax
/usr/etc/ypsetup
Description
A local area network must be set up on your system before you can set up YP. You must know your system's default YP domain name and
whether your system will be a master server, slave server, or client. If your system is to be the master server for your YP domain, be
sure no other master has been established and be sure the files to be distributed are in the directory Note that the files to be distrib-
uted should be modified from the original files by removing the root entry in the file.
If your system is not to be the master server, be sure a master already exists for your YP domain. Once you know this information, run
with the system in multiuser mode and answer its questions.
Once YP is installed on a machine, it cannot be used until the file is modified to contain YP entries on the desired database lines. The
command reminds a user to run or edit the file manually.
