Hi, - I tried running all the commands manually and every one of them worked. - installdir is set to /install - if i remove the nim resource it doesn't get recreated nimnodeset -V only shows running commands on the MN not on the SN. but the node has a SN defined. to verify i tried running nimnodecust on the same node and that command is conntacting the SN and issuing nim commands.
- regarding nfsv3: i can't remeber if i customized the xcataixscript resource to nfs4. i have to use nfs4 because of the firewall rules in place. Btw i think there's a bug in nimnodecust. It only recognizes arguments for the -p parameter when it's in the format a=b otherwise it regards it as a noderange. ie: this fails $ nimnodecust -V -s 7121image_lpp_source -p xlsmp.rte aix0176a Error: Invalid nodes and/or groups in noderange: xlsmp.rte this works but runs the wrong nim command: $ nimnodecust -V -s 7121image_lpp_source -p filesets=xlsmp.rte aix0176a Running command on aix0113a: nim -Fo cust -a lpp_source=7121image_lpp_source -a installp_flags=agQXY -a filesets=" filesets=xlsmp.rte" aix0176a 2>&1 Error: aix0113a: Could not customize node aix0176a.
