Hi,
I haven't seen this error before and I'm not sure what would be causing
it.
However, let me describe the process the code is using.
- the code runs "lsnim -l 'xcataixscript'" to see if it is already defined
- if it is defined the code checks to see if it is in the proper location
- it uses a nim command (ex. lsnim -a location -Z xcataixscript )
to get the NIM resource location
- it compares that to the "correct" location - in this case that
would be /install/nim/scripts/xcataixscript
BTW - you don't happen to have the "installdir" attribute
in the site table set to something other than "/install"???
- if it's not the correct location then it is removed (nim -Fo
remove 'xcataixscript' )
-
- a new NIM resource is created using "nim -Fo define -t script -a
server=master -a location=/install/nim/scripts/xcataixscript xcataixscript
- if this fails you get the msg "Could not create a NIM resource for
xcataixscript."
You could try running these command manually to see if there are any NIM
issues?
It may help debugging if you use "-V" when you run nimnodeset. It should
provide more info.
Also, one thing I found in the history of file changes is that someone
made a fix to configure the xcataixscript resource as NFSv3. In the 2.7.5
code the option for configuring the resource as nfsv4 is commented out. It
doesn't say what the problem was but I did notice that your xcataixscript
resources is defined with "nfs_vers = 4". You might try removing the
NIM resource manually and see if it gets re-created??
I'll see if I can track down the reason the code always uses nfsv3.

Subject: [xcat-user] nimnodeset Error: Could not create a NIM
resource for xcataixscript.
Hi
Does anyone have experience with xcat 2.7.5 and AIX installation via NiM
oslevel 7100-02-01-1245
I get this error when trying to install a lpar
$ nimnodeset -i osimage lparname
Error: Could not create a NIM resource for xcataixscript.
xcataixscript is defined:
$ lsnim -l xcataixscript
xcataixscript:
class = resources
type = script
Rstate = ready for use
prev_state = unavailable for use
nfs_vers = 4
nfs_sec = sys
location = /install/nim/scripts/xcataixscript
alloc_count = 0
server = master
Thanks
Best Regards
Matthias Merk
