NIM host name change
Hi

I have a NIM server on AIX 5.3.08.02. I had to change the host name and I now have nimsh connection issues to the NIM clients. All host files and DNS entries are correct with the new host name. I have tried editing the niminfo files on the NIM server and NIM clinet. I have tried removing the the NIM client from NIM and then recreating it through "smitty eznim" on the client, but still no luck. I get the following error in /var/adm/ras/nimsh.log

Tue Oct 14 15:52:34 2008 passing OpenSSL setting of 0
Tue Oct 14 15:52:34 2008 error: remote value passed, "new_host_name", does not match environment value "old_host_name"

Does anybody have any ideas? Could this require an ODM edit to change the NIM server host name entry?

Thanx

Hi,

Try this command : smitty nim_ch_if1 fastpath.

I have changed the NIM master's hostname with this few weeks ago.

The command update the master and try to update the clients (/etc/niminfo) if the NIM_SHELL variable is set to "nimsh".

If not, you have to modify the /etc/niminfo on the client side and restart the nimsh service with stopsrc/startsrc.
