    Hi Admins,

    I have configured nim client withour any errors.But defining resource completed with warnings.

    Command: OK stdout: yes stderr: no

    Before command completion, additional instructions may appear below.

    exportfs: /inst.images: A file or directory in the path name does not exist.

    rc=0
    0042-124 c_ch_nfsexp: NFS option sec=sys is NOT supported

    warning: 0042-229 m_bos_inst: When installing a system using a mksysb as the
    source for the installation, the level of the SPOT used for the
    installation must match the level of the mksysb image that is
    being installed. The release levels of the SPOT, spot_aix53, and the
    mksysb, mksysb_msbdvds02, do not match.

    warning: 0042-360 m_bos_inst: The SPOT level is older than the mksysb level. Therefore,
    the BOS installation may encounter problems.
    Update the SPOT to match the mksysb level or create a
    new SPOT that has the same level.
    Nim master and client both are with same hardware and same version with same TL. From warning message i understand that SPOT level is older than client mksysb.

    Please suggest how to upgrade the spot.

    Regards

    You can make a SPOT from your mksysb directly.

    Or, update your SPOT using a newer lpp_source.

    I would do more debugging to find out exactly what level your SPOT is and why its not what you seem to think it is. If you ever have to netboot and recover a dead system you'll find its very important to have SPOTs that match your OS level.

    To upgrade your SPOT, You can download the LPP SOURCE with the same OS level of your client or you can create the SPOT with the mksysb image of this client.

    Always verify spot level by running the following commands.

    lsmksysb -Lf <mksysb_file> | grep bos.mp64

    nim -o showres <spot_name> | grep bos.mp64

    Check the level of the fileset bos.mp64 from both mksysb and spot, this levels should match, if not - you will have this issue.
