NIM fails to create a SPOT

[neuralnode]

Hi All,

I'm trying to create a SPOT from an mksysb image of AIX 5.3.
The NIM server's oslevel is 7100-01-04-1216.

Here's what happens:

# nim -o define -t spot -a server=master -a location=/home/spot -a source=apsdb-aix53 apsdb_aix53_spot

 Creating SPOT in "/home/spot" on machine "master" from "apsdb-aix53" ...

 Restoring files from BOS image.  This may take several minutes ...

0042-001 nim: processing error encountered on "master":
   0042-103 m_mkspot: unable to restore from apsdb-aix53

According to one of the sites, the solution was to update the system, and more specifically some filesets. That I did, and the result is this:

# oslevel -s -g 7100-01-04-1216
Fileset                                 Actual Level       Service Pack Level
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
bos.rte.archive                         7.1.1.16           7.1.1.15
bos.rte.install                         7.1.1.16           7.1.1.15

devices.usbif.08025002.rte              7.1.1.16           7.1.1.15

After a reboot nothing really changed, however.
NIM still cannot create the spot.


I'd appreciate your advice on this.
Thanks in advance!
