platform type of the IPL ROM emulation that you wish to create. To create IPL
ROM emulation media, perform the following:
1. Insert a formatted diskette into the NIM Master.
2. Enter:
bosboot -r /usr/lpp/bos.sysmgt/nim/methods/IPLROM.emulation \
-d /dev/fd -M both -T rs6k
It is advisable to test the physical connection between the NIM Client and NIM
Master. If you are using a PCI-based RS/6000 as a Client, you can test the NIM
Master/Client communication on the Client by using the
ping utility provided with
System Management Services (see 9.3, “Using a PCI-Based RS/6000 Server as a
NIM Client” on page 174). To do this, select the Remote Initial Program Load
Setup option in the System Management Utilities menu.
The Client's IP Address and IP Name must be contained in the name server
database or in the NIM Master's /etc/hosts file.
Start the NIM Client's definition with the following command:
smitty nim_mkmac
