Running Standalone Diagnostics from a Network Installation
Management (NIM) Server
A client system connected to a network with a Network Installation Management (NIM) server can boot
standalone diagnostics from the NIM server if the client-specific settings on both the NIM server and client
are correct.
Notes:
1. All operations to configure the NIM server require root user authority.
2. If you replace the network adapter in the client, the network-adapter hardware-address settings for the
client must be updated on the NIM server.
3. The
Cstate
for each standalone diagnostics client on the NIM server should be kept in the
diagnostic
boot has been enabled
state.
4. On the client system, the NIM server network adapter should be put in the bootlist after the boot disk
drive. This allows the system to boot in standalone diagnostics from the NIM server if there is a
problem booting from the disk drive. For information about setting the bootlist, see the
Multiboot
section under “SMS” in the client system’s service guide.
