Hello,

AIX 6.1.

I specify a customization script to run after a nimP_bosinst using a mksysb which cleans up file systems etc. It doesn't appear to be executing as I'd expect using NIM.

If I log in to the LPAR and run the script it works as designed.

Does the nim server log the execution of the customization script anywhere so that I can investigate this?

Thanks

Glenn

Did you make de bosinst and the script in the same nim statement like:

nim -o bosinst -a script=<value> ... <standalone>

Or dit you us two sepperate nim commands?
Did you look in /var/adm/ras/nimlog (alog file)?
Is the name resolving on the client correct after the bosinst?
Maybe you can do an

exec 1>/tmp/logfile exec 2>&1

in the beginning of your script and a cat of that logfile at the end?

Hope this helps

Glenn,

Have you tried the "showlog" operation?

nim -o showlog -a full_log=yes -a log_type=script CLIENT_HOSTNAME

or

nim -o showlog -a full_log=yes -a log_type=bosinst CLIENT_HOSTNAME

Hope that helps,

Marcelo.
