Question NIM - mksysb of remote server

Hi,

I'm trying to use my NIM server to get a mksysb of an lpar on another machine on my network.

I'm trying to define a resource through smitty and i've entered the resource name, Server of resource & location of resource, they are as follows

Resource Name : gmt_fail_mksysb
Server of Resource : gmt_fail
Location of resource : /export/nim/images


When I try to do this I get the following error

0042-001 nim: processing error encountered on "master":
0042-006 m_mkbosi: (From_Master) connect Error 0

rshd: 0826-813 Permission is denied.
rshd: 0826-813 Permission is denied.



Can anyone shed some light on how to do this? PLEASE Smilie

I'm no expert on NIM configuration, but I believe the error is you need to have rsh and/or rlogin enabled on your target server. NIM uses the old "r" protocols, but most shops disable them for security reasons. Since your error is a permission denied from the rsh daemon I'd take a look at that.

Also, a good site for info on AIX error messages and codes is here:
http://publib.boulder.ibm.com/infoce...v5r3/index.jsp
Click on "AIX message center" in the left pane, then go to seven-digit error numbers to search for your code.

Here is the first few lines listed for error 0826-813. Since it mentions .rhosts that is even more evidence it is your "r" protocol config that needs fixing.

Add the host or the user to the /etc/hosts.equiv or $HOME/.rhosts file.

Problem Determination:
