You were trying to install the lpar from mksysb image via nim and you got stuck on boot with LED code 0613.
The console is stuck here:

and the error on HMC is like this:
hscroot@gzhmc:~> lsrefcode -m 9117-MMC-SN6540000 -r lpar --filter "lpar_names=Client_GZLPAR" -F lpar_name:refcode
Client_GZLPAR:0613
According to IBM docs, 613 is "Failure setting up route tables" and "hangs usually occur because a route is incorrectly defined for a network in the NIM database. Verify that the correct gateways are specified between networks, and all gateways are functional. Use debug-enabled network boot images to determine which routes could not be defined."
So we have to go back to nim and see what is wrong.
The nim client is configured to use the interface gznim_net:
gznim@root:/home/root # lsnim -l GZLPAR_adm
GZLPAR_adm:
class = machines
type = standalone
current_master = gznim
connect = nimsh
sync_required = yes
platform = chrp
netboot_kernel = 64
[color=green] if1 = gznim_net GZLPAR_adm 0[/color]
cable_type1 = N/A
Cstate = BOS installation has been enabled
prev_state = ready for a NIM operation
Mstate = not running
boot = boot
lpp_source = lppsource_61-08-02
mksysb = mksysb_I89_GZLPAR_adm
nim_script = nim_script
spot = spot_61-08-02
control = master
So this is what we have to modify! The default gateway is not accessible and nim client is unable to find our nfs server because of that.
Wrong configuration:
gznim@root:/home/root # lsnim -l gznim_net
gznim_net:
class = networks
type = ent
Nstate = ready for use
prev_state = ready for use
net_addr = 192.168.69.0
snm = 255.255.255.128
routing1 = ent-adm_mop 192.168.69.1
routing2 = vlan30 192.168.69.1
[color=red] routing3 = default 10.16.27.21
routing4 = ent-Network1 10.16.27.21[/color]
Correction and good output:
gznim@root:/home/root # smitty nim_routing

Now the nim client is able to boot correctly:
