Hi,

I've set up nim master and installed one LPAR from it. After that I've
tryed to do client's mksysb from master and get following:
[root@nimmaster]/>nim -o define -t mksysb -a server=master -a
source=nimclient -a mk_image=yes -a location=/nim/mksysb_images/
mksysb.nimclient mksysb_nimclient <

+---------------------------------------------------------------------
+
System Backup Image Space Information
(Sizes are displayed in 1024-byte blocks.)
+---------------------------------------------------------------------
+

Required = 699937 (684 MB) Available = 47864684 (46743 MB)



Creating information file (/image.data) for rootvg.
/usr/bin/savevg[33]: 748,438: syntax error
0042-001 nim: processing error encountered on "master":
0042-001 m_mkbosi: processing error encountered on "nimclient":
0042-001 m_mkbosi: processing error encountered on "master":
0042-154 c_stat: the file or directory "/nim/mksysb_images/
mksysb.nimclient" does not exist

ping work in both directions, ulimit on both aix is set to -1. there
is enough space on both servers.

Any hint?

1)
Check that the exported file is not exported as NFSv4 since AFAIK
NFSv4 does not support exporting of files anymore.

2) Mount on the client the directory /nim/mksysb_images/ and run a
mksysb

2) mount on the client the file /nim/mksysb_images/mksysb.nimclient
and run a mksysb

Be aware of correct exports (v3) and right ( root for client access )

...check if from client you have right to write to the exported directory.. got same problem

Hi,

I've looked in nim redbook and there aren't any nfs exports. Its looks
logical that there should be one but...
I will try this and let you know
