My nim master is 5.2.0.0 with no patches. My nim client is 4.3.3.
Trying to use smitty to do the upgrade I received an error that
the lpp_source was not allocated to the client, so I wrote these
lines in a script:

nim -o allocate -a lpp_source=520lpp_res txmfp002
nim -o cust -a fixes=520lpp_res -a installp_flags=-pXV 2 txmfp002

When I run the script I get:

# sh -x update.sh
+ nim -o allocate -a lpp_source=520lpp_res txmfp002
+ nim -o cust -a fixes=520lpp_res -a installp_flags=-pXV 2 txmfp002
0042-001 nim: processing error encountered on "master":
   0042-001 m_cust: processing error encountered on "txmfp002":
   0042-175 c_script: An unexpected result was returned by the "txwast01a:/expo:
   
0042-175 c_installp: An unexpected result was returned by the "/usr/sbin/instfi:
instfix: The specified device /tmp/16696/mnt0
        is not a valid device or file.
        
        
I found a reference to a similiar problem and the fix was to make sure
the LANG variable on both master and client are set to C, which they
now are, but the problem still exists.

Any thoughts?

Mike
