This is why i have shown you how to reset NIM resources. They are probably "partly" allocated already. At least the exports file you have shown suggests this.

Actually this is not what you need. First you need to define a "NIM network" where the (prospective) client can reside in (if this is not already there). When creating the network NIM tests if the router there can act as a "bootp relay agent" (see RFC 1533 and RFC 1534). The bootp protocol relies on an initial broadcast issued without any source IP address at all (from the client to be configured) to be transmitted by the router (or whatever functions as a relay agent).

Sigh...

Copy all the lpp-files from "/cdrom-mount/installp/ppc" to a directory.

Next, rename the packages to their true name:

Code:
bffcreate -c -d <source_device/path>

They will now have one of two names:

Code:
some.name.V.R.M.F.I
some.name.V.R.M.F.U

V, R, M and F are the version, release, ... numbers, like "1.7.15.30", "I" is for "installable" (a base level package, installable on its own), "U" is for "update" (installable only if the respective "I"-package is already installed).

Then create a table of contents (the file ".toc"):

Code:
 cd /path/to/prospective/lpp
inutoc .

Finally create the LPP-source with the command i showed you in Post #6 already. Proceed from there.

This is because your CODE snippets are full of all kind of crazy markup with "FONT", "SIZE", "COLOR" and whatnot-tags. I tried to remove them, but had to give up for the sheer amount. You might want to edit your posts yourself and just remove them. Leave only the CODE-tags in place and remove everything else.

I hope this helps.
