AIX NIM issues are typically resolved by examination of the error messages:

Information about Network Installation Management (NIM) error and warning messages is provided, with suggestions for resolving specific problems.

Quote:

If an error condition is detected when a NIM command is executed, the command returns an error message. If a NIM command returns a warning message, this indicates that either a less severe problem was encountered by NIM, or a problem was encountered in a command called by NIM, and the severity of the problem cannot be readily determined by NIM. In the latter case, additional messages or output from the command often reveal the nature of the problem.

All NIM error messages begin with 0042 and are followed by a three-digit error code.

Did you find or examine any NIM error messages?

Networks alternative to Internet

I've read about BITNET, CompuServe... CompuServe was probably not a network but an online service. Are (were) there any other networks alternative to Internet? Does anyone have experience with them?

Multiple networks on same server

If I have 2 interfaces in a server on the same subnet/network does Solaris automatically choose to route packets destined for this network out the first interface. I.e if ce0 and ce1 were on same network ce0 would be chosen as it's first interface?

NAME

       sccs-help, help - ask for help regarding SCCS error or warning messages

SYNOPSIS

       /usr/ccs/bin/help [argument...]

DESCRIPTION

       The  help  utility retrieves information to further explain errors messages and warnings from SCCS commands. It also provides some informa-
       tion about SCCS command usage. If no arguments are given, help prompts for one.

       An argument may be a message number (which normally appears in parentheses following each SCCS error or warning message), or an  SCCS  com-
       mand name. help responds with an explanation of the message or a usage line for the command.

       When all else fails, try `/usr/ccs/bin/help  stuck'.

FILES

       /usr/lib/help   directory containing files of message text
