NIM Master, NIMSH and SSL on AIX 7.1 TL4 SP3
Whilst working with one of my AIX customers recently I discovered a problem with NIMSH and SSL. The customer had updated their NIM master from AIX 7.1 TL4 SP1 to AIX 7.1 TL4 SP3 . After the SP update, any attempt to connect to a NIM client (over NIMSH+SSL), from the NIM master, would simply hang. For example, we tried to list the filesets on the NIM client with this command, which never returned any output.

rsync/scp to keep the Prod & DR LPARs in sync and b) using alt_disk_copy
(with the –O flag for a device reset) to clone rootvg to an alternate disk
which is then replicated to DR. These methods may work but are cumbersome to
administer and (in the case of alt_disk_copy) require... [More]
