Running Standalone Diagnostics from a Network Installation Management (NIM)
Server
A client system connected to a network with a Network Installation Management (NIM)
server is capable of booting 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 hardfile. This allows the system to boot in standalone diagnostics from
the NIM server if there is a problem booting from the hard file. Another option is to
use Install or Boot a Device to set up the NIM server for a one-time boot of
standalone diagnostics from the NIM server. Refer to the Select Boot Options
section under “SMS” in the client system’s service guide for information on setting
the bootlist.

Management Guide and Reference, order number SC23-4385, for information on doing
