I'm trying to configure NIM Master server with 30 clients on Virtual Ethernet Adapter network because the current network setup will not work with NIM for me (bootp can't find the master). Probably need to create a new network to get it to work.
My environment is 2 P5-590's (connected via internal switch) running on AIX 5.3 TL8
I'm not sure how I should approach this:
1. Use HMC to create Virtual Ethernet Adapters then create VLAN's.
2. Use VIO server to create Virtual Ethernet Adapters
3. Use Intergrated Virtual Ethernet Adapter (don't know much about this).
It already has many Virtual Ethernet Adapters with external and internal network.
I didn't setup the original environment because I've inherited an already setup configuration, and I'm trying to make NIM work on it.
Any advice is greatly appreciated.
