Full Discussion: Nim client with different subnet to Master
Operating Systems AIX Nim client with different subnet to Master Post 302872483 by ibmtech on Friday 8th of November 2013 12:24:47 PM

Ok, first of all I need to know the 'IP, gateway address & subnet mask of NIM and client (of 193 network).

If you are restoring mksysb on new client using NIM, you use SMS menu to configure the IP's

Giving an example of my environment
Code:
Under the Main menu, 
select option no 2. Setup remote IPL (Initial program Load)
Select the network adapter
Select IPv4, then BOOTP, then IP Parameters
IP Parameters
Interpartition Logical LAN: U9117.MMD.104F3F7-V15-C4-T1
 1.   Client IP Address                    [10.10.170.250]    --> My client IP
 2.   Server IP Address                    [10.10.4.140]    --> My NIM IP
 3.   Gateway IP Address                   [10.10.170.1]    --> Client Default G/W
 4.   Subnet Mask                          [255.255.255.0]   --> Client Subnet mask
 press esc (escape), and select option 3. Ping test

The ping test should be successful.

The above is for new clients

If you are saying you already have some client existing on 193 network, then you gotta define the network on NIM server 1st, and on client run the below
Code:
niminit -a master=<nimserver name> -a name=<clientname>
then run 
smitty nim_config_services  --> Communication Protocol used by client --> nimsh

Hit enter and try to connect from NIM, it should work.


Hope this helps.

DESCRIPTION

       This  sets  a stream to be the master stream of a client.  A master stream is a stream send via the client's controll channel.  If a master
