I don't normally use NIM to create mksysbs so I'm a bit hazy. My
understanding is that the exclude file can exist on the client machine, or
on another machine, (usually the master).
Here's one I've just tested...
> lsnim -t exclude_files -l
SCG_TEST_EXCLUDE:
class = resources
type = exclude_files
comments = Testing exclude_files function
Rstate = ready for use
prev_state = unavailable for use
location = /tmp/scg_exclude.rootvg
alloc_count = 0
server = master
> ls -l /tmp/scg_exclude.rootvg
-rw-r--r-- 1 root system 203 Nov 07 15:24
/tmp/scg_exclude.rootvg
As you see, the exclude file itself is /tmp/scg_exclude.rootvg,
("location"), and it exists on my NIM master, ("server").
To use this, I created a mksysb resource (smitty nim_mkres) and specified
this exclude_files resource at the bottom of the panel. Having just done
that, I found that it got used correctly and my excluded files were, indeed,
excluded.
Check that your file exists at the specified location, and on the specified
server, (presumably your master, but it doesn't have to be).
If you want to use the normal /etc/exclude.rootvg on your client, it's
probably simplest not to use an exclude_files resource.

I am new with the nim process.. can you help me understand a little further. On Friday, on the nim master, I looked at the location of the exclude file and it was located in /nim/images/exclude.rootvg. (lsnim -l | grep exclude) This file itself contained some non-rootvg filesystems so I removed them from the exclude file. I still got the error this past weekend. Now... on the nim master, there is also an /etc/exclude.rootvg... but the lsnim does not point to this file.. so I am assuming it is not used. There is also an /etc/exclude.rootvg file on each on the clients. However, there is not a /nim/images/exclude.rootvg on each client. Does the nim process use the exlude file on each client or the one on the nim master? If.. it uses the exclude file on the client, the location in the lsnim is wrong because that file does not exist on the clients and thus the resource error. If that is the case, how do I change the location of the exclude file on the master? I am not good with NIM at all... Tks for your patience and assistance...

Look at the resources allocated to the machine and check the details of the excludefile resource. Either remove that resource, or create the necessary exclude file. -- Simon Green Altria ITSC Europe s.a.r.l.
