NIM Master hostname
hi Admins,

How can I check the NIM master hostname/IP name from NIM client ? I don't see any option that I can try with nimclient command.


Let me know..


Thanks,

OK,
On client you can run

Code:
cat /etc/niminfo | grep NIM_MASTER_HOSTNAME

Then you can do a nslookup on that hostname.

Else just run cat /etc/niminfo and you can see the IP of NIM in the below line.
export NIM_HOSTS=" 127.0.0.1:loopback:localhost  <Client IP>:<client name>  <NIM IP> :<NIM hostname> "

/etc/niminfo is not there, but I can see bos.sysmgt.nim.client packages are commited on client.

OK,
Let me ask you this.

Did you use NIM server to install OS on the client? using bosint. Or NIM came in afterwards?

Under
Code:
/var/adm/ras directory do you see anything such as
nim.log or nimsh.log or nim.script or nim.installp file ?

in /var/adm/ras I see as below :



bash-3.00# -rw-r--r-- 1 root system 131072 Dec 16 14:31 nimlog



nimlog: alog files.

I don't see any other nim related files or dir there.

Ok, do you know the NIM Server name or IP?
If you do, run the below commands on client
Code:
niminit -a master=<NIM Server hostname> -a name=<client name>
smitty nim_config_services   -->Communication Protocol used by client -->  nimsh

Now, you should see the niminfo file, I think someone either deleted the file or moved/renamed it.

I hope this helps.
