i have server1 (nim machine=clientname1) and server2 ( nim machine=clientname2).
i want to use the mksysb resource from server1 to restore on server2.
i have created a mksysb of server1 and a spot from the mksysb res.
i have restore ./bosinst_data from the mksysb res and defined it as a new bosinst object "clientname1_201506_bosinst"
then i use "smitty nim_bosinst":
• Select a target “clientname2”
• Select the installation TYPE mksysb
• Select the mksysb resource : clientname1_201506_res
• Select the SPOT to use for the installation: clientname1_201506_spot
• BOSINST_DATA to use during installation : clientname1_201506_bosinst
• ACCEPT new license agreements = yes + yes ( 2 places)
• FORCE PUSH the installation? = yes
• Initiate reboot and installation now? = yes
when i list the client, the status was "BOS installation has been enabled".
# lsnim -l clientname2
triceps1as2up:
class = machines
type = standalone
locked = 11010258
connect = nimsh
platform = chrp
netboot_kernel = 64
if1 = ent-Network2 clientname2 0
cable_type1 = bnc
Cstate = BOS installation has been enabled
prev_state = not running
Mstate = currently running
boot = boot
bosinst_data = clientname1_201506_bosinst
mksysb = clientname1_201506_res
nim_script = nim_script
spot = clientname1_201506_spot
cpuid = 0002FDCAD300
control = master
But the restore failed with error like this:
then i have this following error after i commit the operation:
0042-001 nim: processing error encountered on "master":
0042-001 m_bos_inst: processing error encountered on "master":
nimpush: /usr/lpp/bos.sysmgt/nim/methods/c_nnc_setup not found
but this file is there on master.

/usr/lpp/bos.sysmgt/nim/methods/c_nnc_setup: shell script - ksh (Korn shell)
i have run :
# lppchk -v
# lppchk -cm3
no error retured.
i have run "tcpdump host client2" to watch the communications between master and client2. i can see back and forth network communications between nim master and client:nimsh/shell port.
So what was wrong with my restore? what i should check next?
Please advice. many thanks in advance,
Jim
