Yup, that was a typo.

Well, first off, the network IDs have to be unique, i. e. "subnet_1", "subnet_2", etc.. I suppose that was only a typo on your part.
Thanks. I thought it is necessary.

To answer your question: yes, you will have to create separate NIM-networks for this. No, you won't have to configure 3 IP-aliases for your master.
Is this something that I need to check with our network team? We currently have 4 different subnets in our AIX lpars and they can talk to each other normally.

The reason for this is: NIM operates using NFS (for "normal" package installations), bootp (for mksysb-installs) and tftp. All these protocols have to be - obviously - allowed by all the firewalls you might have in between your NIM-server and the prospective clients
Thanks for your help Bakunin.
P.S. Just joined the forums again after years of rest. I'm still trying to get the hang of using it properly.

Thanks ibmtech. Will remember this, I think I had issue regarding this when I'm trying to restore our VIO server via NIM.

ppmtopgm
ppmtopgm(1) General Commands Manual ppmtopgm(1)
NAME
ppmtopgm - convert a portable pixmap into a portable graymap
SYNOPSIS
ppmtopgm [ppmfile]
DESCRIPTION
Reads a portable pixmap as input. Produces a portable graymap as output. The output is a "black and white" rendering of the original
image, as in a black and white photograph. The quantization formula used is .299 r + .587 g + .114 b.
Note that although there is a pgmtoppm program, it is not necessary for simple conversions from pgm to ppm , because any ppm program can
read pgm (and pbm ) files automatically. pgmtoppm is for colorizing a pgm file. Also, see ppmtorgb3 for a different way of converting
color to gray. And ppmdist generates a grayscale image from a color image, but in a way that makes it easy to differentiate the original
colors, not necessarily a way that looks like a black and white photograph.
QUOTE
Cold-hearted orb that rules the night
Removes the colors from our sight
Red is gray, and yellow white
But we decide which is right
And which is a quantization error.
