    No...the master must be at the same level or higher.

    Subject: NIM install of 5.x from a 4.3 master?

    Hi;

    I am an admin in a primarily Solaris shop, with a few AIX boxes performing
    some fairly critical work. I am moderately skilled in AIX administration,
    but have not worked with NIM before. All of our existing AIX boxes are
    installed and configured differently due to different admins doing each of
    the installs. We would like to standardize our base install and NIM seems
    to be a good way to go about it.

    I will likely be sending a number of NIM related questions to the list
    over the next couple of days, but my first question is;

    Can I have a 4.3.x NIM master provide installation services for 5.1 clients?

    Thanks,

    Chris
