OS install from NIM fails
Hi Guys,

The ping is failing SMS menu on the client to the interface for a network boot from NIM. I checked the cables, they are plugged in and lights are blinking. this is the error i am getting when I am pushing the OS on NIM

Command: OK stdout: yes stderr: no

Before command completion, additional instructions may appear below.

warning: warning: 0042-006 m_bos_inst: (From_Master) connect A remote host refused an attempted connect operation.

warning: 0042-134 m_bos_inst: unable to initiate network boot on "ibmrxcp-bacdb1a-mgt"
nconn: connect() failed, errno is 79
