    Hi,
    I've configured a NIM master on IBM e-server running AIX 6.1 OS
    I've set up lpp_source, spot etc,
    I wanted to install AIX OS on a client on the same network as that of the NIM server.
    I've added client, prepared bos_inst (without prompt)
    After choosing IPL in SMS menu, the IP address of server,client,address mask and gateway.
    The process then terminates with error 20EE000B.

    Thanks for any help.

    20EE000B covers a lot of sins.

    What did it say before it got that far? Did it cycle through the a number of bytes? Did it indicate bootp got a response, etc. etc.

    Is NFS running on the NIM server, is bootpd running? What's the status of the machine object on the NIM server, etc.

    Plenty of information you need to provide before we can make progress.

    Hi,

    Before displaying 20EE000B
    It displayed the IP parameter details of server,client etc
    It cycled through a no of bytes
    bootp s
    A number was incremented up to 10
    and next bootp response was displayed
    NFS is running on the NIM server
    bootpd is running
    status of the NIM client is "BOS installation has been enabled"

    Hope this info is sufficient.
    Thanks
