I need help please.
I've got a VIO'd P570, on which one of the lpars is a NIM server. It was/is working when I inherited it as the previous 6 lpars were built using it.
I've created a new VIO profile which works fine (thanks to an earlier reply from p5wizard).
I've defined this new lpar in NIM under the administration tasks as a machine using the same settings as the other NIM clients have (except for obvious things such as name and IP).
I've then gone through the installation and maintenance tasks install the base OS on a standalone client and everything there went OK.
From there, I've booted the new lpar into SMS and configured the network interface to use with its own IP, NIM master IP, no gateway as they're on the same subnet, and network mask. A ping test works fine.
However, when booting I just get:
BOOTP request retry attempt:1 (and so on until it runs out of retries)
The client is in the host table OK.
Showmount -e shows the spot, lpp source and mksysb shared OK.
Nfso -a | grep port returns both zero's.
Anyone any suggestions to get me past this?
Thanks.
