Using NIMSH

Basic NIMSH functions are explained.

NIMSH service port
The client daemon has two ports registered with the Internet Assigned Numbers Authority (IANA) for use during network communication. These ports are referred to as the primary and secondary ports.
NIMSH system resource control
NIMSH is registered with the System Resource Controller (SRC). The SRC group name is nimclient and the subsystem defined is NIMSH.
NIMSH authentication process
Service requests from the communicating host (the NIM master) will build packets with the following data for authentication.
Logging NIMSH operations
The NIM client daemon logs data in the /var/adm/ras/nimsh.log file during its operation. The log is used only for debug purposes.
