How To
Summary
NIM communication from NIM master to the nim client may fail with error like
0042-006 c_rsh: (exec_nimsh_cmd) exec_cmd Error 0
Steps
This looks like a communication issue between NIM master and NIM client over nimsh.
From NIM master
# nim -Fo reset <client>
# nim -o deallocate -a subclass=all <client>
# nim -o remove <client>
Now go to client
# rm /etc/niminfo*
redefine the client but from client side
# smitty nim
...
# cat /etc/niminfo
After this
Go back to NIM master
verify
# lsnim -l <client>
Test the connection
# /usr/lpp/bos.sysmgt/nim/methods/c_rsh <client> /usr/bin/hostname
Does the above command work?
