So you have this error:
Command: running stdout: yes stderr: no Before command completion, additional instructions may appear below. 0042-172 NIMkid: This machine's CPU ID does not match the CPU ID stored in the NIM database.
What to do in this situation?
Go to the nim master and check if the CPU ID is ok for this client.
You can get this value from the client with prtconf or uname -a:
gznimcl1:root:/home/root # uname -a AIX gznimcl1 1 6 [color=green]00C34XXXXC00[/color]
[gznimserv:root:/home/root:] lsnim -l gznimcl1 ty7a0221: class = machines type = standalone connect = nimsh platform = chrp netboot_kernel = 64 if1 = ent-Network1 gznimcl1 0 cable_type1 = tp Cstate = ready for a NIM operation prev_state = currently running Mstate = not running [color=red]cpuid = 00CE3YYYYC00[/color] Cstate_result = success installed_image = mksysb_61-04-01
So the CPU ID is wrong. Modify the nim client via smitty or watever, and after that you should be ok:
[gznimserv:root:/home/root:] lsnim -l gznimcl1 ty7a0221: class = machines type = standalone connect = nimsh platform = chrp netboot_kernel = 64 if1 = ent-Network1 gznimcl1 0 cable_type1 = tp Cstate = ready for a NIM operation prev_state = currently running Mstate = not running [color=green]cpuid = 00C34XXXXC00[/color] Cstate_result = success installed_image = mksysb_61-04-01
