NIM boot crash - 888-102-700-0c5.

Could be a problem with /etc/exports on NIM master. Permissions on /etc/exports should be 644. Perform these steps on the NIM master:

- Reset the NIM client:

# nim -Fo reset <client>                                               

# nim -o deallocate -a subclass=all <client>                           

- Recreate the /etc/exports file:

# cd /etc                                                              

# cp exports exports.save                                              

# exportfs -ua                                                         

# vi /etc/exports  ==> remove unwanted entries.

- Cleanup and restart NFS daemons.

# stopsrc -g nfs                                                       

# rm -rf sm sm.bak state rmtab xtab

# startsrc -g nfs                                                      

# exportfs -va                                                         

- Retry the NIM install.
