This is solved (thanks Yves!) I exported nim of nim server directory to
test some rpms on the client and did not unexport it ; so none of
further operations could not proceed

installation

Hi All
I have removed and rebuilt the SPOT on nim server , but still after tftp
phase client does not kick in with installation, it just reboots back to

"IBM IBM IBM ..." banner.

Removal/recreation:
1479 nim -o remove spot_53
1480 nim -Fo reset client1
1481 nim -o deallocate -a subclass=all client1
1482 nim -o remove spot_53
1483 nim -o define -t spot -a location=/export/nim/spot -a
server=master -a source=lpp_src_53 spot_53
Builds ok, no errors

OS: 5.3
Platform: chrp
bosinst data file: /export/nim/bosinst_data/is1233p_bosinst_data
resolv.conf file: /export/nim/resolv_conf/resolv_conf_Q9
bundle file: /export/nim/bundles/bundle_basic_53
script file: /export/nim/custom-scripts/script_JDE_aix53

Any idea? Where do I look for logs?

nim -o showlog -a full_log=yes -a log_type=nimerr is1233p extracts logs
from the client, so it's a little help while client is not operational.

Thanks for your help

Dmitry
