Odd error when trying to run commands in both ways.
believe or not! NIM again :-(
Here I go.
First, I create the client-MACHINE on the NIM.
On the NIM server:
bibmdes_cont:
class = machines
type = standalone
connect = nimsh
platform = chrp
netboot_kernel = 64
if1 = ent-Network1 bibmdes_cont 0
cable_type1 = N/A
Cstate = ready for a NIM operation
prev_state = ready for a NIM operation
Mstate = currently running
ent-Network1:
class = networks
type = ent
comments = Generated during definition of bibmdes_cont
Nstate = ready for use
prev_state = information is missing from this object's definition
net_addr = 172.17.32.80
snm = 255.255.255.240
routing1 = default 172.17.32.94
Now, go to the client and setup nim.
On the client:
smitty nim
[Entry Fields]
* Machine Name [bibmdes_cont]
* Primary Network Install Interface [en0] +
* Host Name of Network Install Master [bibmnim]
Hardware Platform Type chrp
Kernel to use for Network Boot [64] +
Communication Protocol used by client [nimsh] +
Ethernet Interface Options
Network Speed Setting [] +
Network Duplex Setting [] +
Comments []
Setting up SSL
smitty nim_config_services
* Communication Protocol used by client [nimsh] +
NIM Service Handler Options
* Enable Cryptographic Authentication [enable] +
for client communication?
Everythings looks OK, no error.
So, back to NIM, you can see the nimsh-secure protocol.
On the NIM:
bibmdes_cont:
class = machines
type = standalone
connect = nimsh (secure)
platform = chrp
netboot_kernel = 64
if1 = ent-Network1 bibmdes_cont 0
cable_type1 = N/A
Cstate = ready for a NIM operation
prev_state = ready for a NIM operation
Mstate = currently running
cpuid = 0009EACAD400
########################## ########## ########## ########## ####
Trying to update_all from the client:
smitty nim
Install and Update Software
Update Installed Software to Latest Level (Update All)
On the BOX (Select the LPP_SOURCE containing the install image) you can see all resources got them from the NIM, so I select the LPP resource:
ENTER
ENTER
BUT get this error:
Command: failed stdout: yes stderr: no
Before command completion, additional instructions may appear below.

0042-406 nconn: Error verifying SSL object after connection.
nconn: ð}
: Error 0
I did another test from the NIM, and get the same error.
Any idea why?
Thanks.

stopsrc -s nimsh
startsrc -s nimsh
and when repeat got this error:

wmp,
Sorry, the NIM is:
[root@bibmnim:/cdrom] oslevel -s
7100-00-02-1041
(BIBMDES_CONT):[root] / -> oslevel -s
7100-00-00-0000
So, from the NIM server:
smitty nim_mac_op -> (select client) -> select "reset" -> "Deallocate ...": yes -> "Force": yes -> Go!
No error.
So, I ran again the above update_all command from the client geting this error now:

Now that's crazy!
I often had this 0042-303 error, but it always (always!) disappeared after a reset + deallocate + force!
Are you really sure that reset was successful?

MAybe useful..
From the NIM it's the actual status of the MACHINE:
bibmdes_cont:
class = machines
type = standalone
connect = nimsh (secure)
platform = chrp
netboot_kernel = 64
if1 = ent-Network1 bibmdes_cont 0
cable_type1 = N/A
Cstate = customization is being performed
prev_state = ready for a NIM operation
Mstate = currently running
lpp_source = aix71tl0sp2lpp
nim_script = nim_script
cpuid = 0009EACAD400
control = bibmdes_cont

Yes, I ran again the reset as you said and it was OK..
So, I did another test, from the NIM:
[root@bibmnim:/cdrom] nim -o cust -a lpp_source=aix71tl0sp2lpp -a fixes=update_all bibmdes_cont
0042-001 nim: processing error encountered on "master":
0042-006 m_cust: (From_Master) connect Error 0
0042-008 nimsh: Request denied - BIBMNIM0042-008 nimsh: Request denied - BIBMNIM
SO, I repeat the same above update_all command from the client:
and get the same error:
0042-001 nimclient: processing error encountered on "master":
0042-001 nim: processing error encountered on "master":
0042-006 m_cust: (From_Master) connect Error 0
0042-008 nimsh: Request denied - BIBMNIM
GGRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRR :-)
Also, there's a firewall in the middle of both AIXs. May be is blocking some ports.. really don't know..

Wmp..
That's it.. The hostname entry in the /etc/hosts file was in capital. I changed it and it's working.
Just one detail. Once the client has been setup you have to do two things, (at least for me :-))
1- Restart nimsh on the client.
2- Forced d eallocate , (as you said) all resources on the MACHINE.
:-)
This NIM's gonna kill me!!!!!!!!
Thanks again..

Thanks again..
1) Restarting nimsh is only needed once after switching to SSL. That's an old bug. I thought it was already fixed somewhere in 5.3, but perhaps there's been a regression with AIX 6.
2) Reset/deallocate/force is only needed after a failed NIM operation before attempting a new operation - but then it's mandatory.
Thx again for the points! Looking forward to your next case. Did you succeed in setting up WLM (not to be confused wih WPAR)?

Hi wmp,
Yes, I took a look to WLM, but not it's mot clear for me yet... but I used nice to rum my mksysb... thanks.
