Full Discussion: NIM Master hostname
Operating Systems AIX NIM Master hostname Post 302879948 by ibmtech on Monday 16th of December 2013 04:33:18 PM

Ok, do you know the NIM Server name or IP?
If you do, run the below commands on client
Code:
niminit -a master=<NIM Server hostname> -a name=<client name>
smitty nim_config_services   -->Communication Protocol used by client -->  nimsh

Now, you should see the niminfo file, I think someone either deleted the file or moved/renamed it.

I hope this helps.

NAME

       ypwhich - return name of NIS server or map master

SYNOPSIS

       ypwhich [-d domain] [ [-t] -m  [mname] | [-Vn] hostname]

       ypwhich -x

DESCRIPTION

       ypwhich	returns  the  name  of	the  NIS server that supplies the  NIS name services to a NIS client, or which is the master for a map. If
       invoked without arguments, it gives the NIS server for the local machine.  If hostname is specified, that machine is queried  to  find  out
       which NIS master it is using.

       Refer to ypfiles(4) for an overview of the  NIS name services.

OPTIONS

       -d domain       Use domain instead of the default domain.

       -t	       This option inhibits map nickname translation.

       -m mname        Find  the  master  NIS server for a map.  No hostname can be specified with -m. mname can be a mapname, or a nickname for a
		       map. When mname is omitted, produce a list of available maps.

       -x	       Display the map nickname translation table.

       -Vn	       Version of  ypbind, V3 is default.
