NIM Unavailable State

[umjw01]

Hi,

I have setup my Nim master, used it for loads of installs, and then the other day I had failed install. Got round it but it set my spot and lpp sources to Unavailabe. So I ran reset on them and they are now available for use. However looking to my other resources they are all unavailable for use?>?!?!? Why? and they dont have reset options. So i thought, i'll try it form command line. you cant do this on this obkect type, so I thought I'll try and change the Rstate attribute value> cant do this either...Any ideas, see below for an instance of this -

lsnim -l aix5202generic-mksysb
aix5202generic-mksysb:
class = resources
type = mksysb
comments = AIX5202 Generic Mksysb
arch = power
Rstate = unavailable for use
prev_state = ready for use
location = /nimrsg/nim/instimage/gen_nonmirror/generic_mksysb
version = 5
release = 2
mod = 0
oslevel_r = 5200-02
alloc_count = 0
server = master

bit closer to a solution. im getting this error -

0042-001 nim: processing error encountered on "master":
0042-207 m_showres: Unable to allocate the aix5202bosinst-migration resource to master.

Hi!
Try this and see if "rstate" changes:
nim -o reset aix5202generic-mksysb
