Cleaning up alt_disk_migration on the NIM master.

lslpp -l |grep bos.alt_disk_install

nim -o showres 'lpp_6100' | grep bos.alt_disk_install.rte
bos.alt_disk_install.rte 6.1.2.1 I N usr
bos.alt_disk_install.rte 6.1.3.0 S N usr
bos.alt_disk_install.rte 6.1.3.4 S N usr

But is obvious.....my NIM is 7.1 so bos.alt_disk_install.rte is different from version of 6.1 spot....

The processing takes place on the master so you need to have the masters level of bos.alt_disk_install.rte installed in the SPOT as suggested by the error. This is quite normal.

I would say it must be possible becasuse NIM level must be not < then client and I see there is client 5.3 and lpp_source and spot 6.1 on NIM 7.1

ok it's clear....NIM 7.1 needs
bos.alt_disk_install.rte 7.1
But it's better:

Add bos.alt_disk_install.rte 7.1 to spot 6.1 and use spot 6.1 for nimadm:

nim -o cust -a filesets=bos.alt_disk_install.rte -a lpp_source=lpp_7103 spot_6100
nimadm -j nimadmvg -c sap024 -s spot_6100 -l lpp_6100 -d "hdisk1" -Y
Or using spot 7.1 in nimadm:

nimadm -j nimadmvg -c sap024 -s spot_7103 -l lpp_6100 -d "hdisk1" -Y
I need in the end upgrade my NIM client sap024 from 5.3 to 6.1.
