Hello

I have migrating my NIM server to 6.1 and created the lpp source and spot successfully .

Try to perform an alternate migration via NIM:
Initializing the NIM master.
Initializing NIM client srvdb1t.
0042-001 nim: processing error encountered on "master":
0042-037 m_alloc_spot: the state of "spotAIX61" prevents this operation
from succeeding

0505-195 nimadm: Error allocating NIM resource spotAIX61.



I rechecked the spot and found this:
lsnim -l spotAIX61
spotAIX61:
class = resources
type = spot
plat_defined = chrp
arch = power
bos_license = yes
Rstate = information is missing from this object's definition
prev_state = verification is being performed
location = /export/nim/spotAIX61/usr
version = 6
release = 1
mod = 2
oslevel_r = 6100-02
alloc_count = 0
server = master
Rstate_result = success
mk_netboot = yes
mk_netboot = yes
missing = bos.sysmgt.serv_aid


I tried to recreate it and it completed with OK and all successfull but only those failures:
only on the spot I have the following failures:
FAILURES
--------
Filesets listed in this section failed pre-installation verification

I checked thoses filesets are on the lpp source, installed on the nim etc...
don;t know more what to do...

Do you know how to fix this ?

As I understand it you have verified that the 3 base level filesets are in your lpp_source. Please verify with

nim -o showres lpp_source_name | grep bos.sysmgt.serv_aid

Also verify no version of this fileset exists in your spot

nim -o showres spot_name | grep bos.sysmgt.serv_aid

Please provide output from the nim -o showres command.

If those base level filesets are in the lpp_source then you might try just installing the filesets into the spot manually with each of these filesets.

If the baselevel fileset is not in your lpp_source only the 6.1.2.1 version then look on your install media for the base level one and install into the spot and then update the spot with the 6.1.2.1 filesets.
 
Thanks for the reply. The fileset was on the spot. What I have done is remove the SP3.

The SP3 downloaded is working as I have updated the NIM server (smitty update_all) and rebooted it successfully and then when I added to the lppsource and create the spot I have the error.

So after removing the SP3 fixes from lppsource I have recreated the spot and I have no errors and was able to do the migration to 6.1 on my clients.

Cheers
