周末给客户装nim 的client 端，主要是为了备份client端server 的os：
step1:
Verify that if bos.sysmgt.nim.client and bos.sysmgt.nim.spot filesets are installed by typing the
following:
lslpp -L bos.sysmgt.nim.client
# lslpp -L bos.sysmgt.nim.client
Fileset Level State Type Description (Uninstaller)
----------------------------------------------------------------------------
bos.sysmgt.nim.client 5.3.0.40 C F Network Install Manager -
Client Tools
If the bos.sysmgt.nim.client fileset is not installed, then install the fileset from the AIX volume 1 CD by typing the following (or using smitty):
# installp –acXd /dev/cd0 bos.sysmgt.nim.client
# lslpp -L bos.sysmgt.nim.spot
Fileset Level State Type Description (Uninstaller)
----------------------------------------------------------------------------
bos.sysmgt.nim.spot 5.3.0.40 C F Network Install Manager - SPOT
If the bos.sysmgt.nim.spot fileset is not installed, then install the fileset from the AIX volume 1 CD by typing the following (or using smitty):
# installp –acXd /dev/cd0 bos.sysmgt.nim.spot
step2
And the label and IP address of NIM master server's and client server.
#vi /etc/hosts
IP master_server_hostname_nim
ip clinet_server_hostname_nim
在两段的 /etc/hosts 文件都要写，为了互相解析。
写好后： 在client: ping master_server_hostname_nim
在master: ping client_server_hostname_nim
step3:
检查一些os 层面的设置：
ulimit -a (确保root file umilit = -1)
oslevel -r (确保客户端的版本是大于server 端的)
Edit /etc/services 文件，确保一下的设置是开启的：
tftp 69/udp
nimsh 3901/tcp # NIM Service Handler
nimsh 3901/udp # NIM Service Handler
nimaux 3902/tcp # NIMsh Auxiliary Port
nimaux 3902/udp # NIMsh Auxiliary Port
step4:
smit 安装：
smit niminit
Machine Name client_host_nim
Primary network intall Interface en1
host name of network Inatall Master master_host_nim
Hardware platform Type chrp
kernel to use for network Boot mp
communication protocol used by client nimsh
..
Network Speed setting 1000
network Duplex Setting full
..
要确保：nimsh 服务启动：
# /usr/bin/startsrc –s nimsh (for nimsh)
step5；
Ensure the following line is in /etc/inittab.
nimsh:2:wait:/usr/bin/startsrc -g nimclient >/dev/console 2>&1 (for nimsh)
nimclient:2:once:/usr/sbin/nimclient -S running > /dev/console 2>&1 (for nimsh)
Or, add them to /etc/inittab if necessary.
# mkitab “nimsh:2:wait:/usr/bin/startsrc -g nimclient >/dev/console 2>&1”
# mkitab “nimclient:2:once:/usr/sbin/nimclient -S running > /dev/console 2>&1”
step6:
装好后：会在：/etc/niminsfo 文件
注意;
生成/niminfo 的同时，会增加一条route,装好后要delete default.
但是再高的aix 版本，不会增加一条route,
可以通过:
netstat -nr 来看一下啊。
step7：
下面进行备份命令的测试：
nim -o define -t mksysb -a server=master -a source=client_host_nim -a mk_image=yes -a location=/systemimage/mksysb.client_host mksysb_client_host
就开始报错了：
0042-001 nim: processing error encountered on "master":
0042-006 m_showres: (From_Master) connect Error 0
特别声明：
如果client 原来没有配过nim的话，就可以安装成功的。
原因正在找...
