/usr/sbin/nim -o define -t mksysb -a server=master -a location=/spdata/sys1/inst
all/images/bos.obj.ssp.41 mksysb_1
Return code = 1. Check any previous error messages for possible problems.
If
setup_server
cannot create the mksysb_1 resource, verify that:
1. /spdata/sys1/install/images exists with permissions rwxr-sr-x.
2. The mksysb image exists with the correct name, either the default mksysb
name or the one you have specified before running
setup_server
. Make sure
the permissions are at least rw-r--r--.
If you have more than one mksysb image, the names of the mksysb resources
are mksysb_2, mksysb_3, and so on.

Return code = 1. Check any previous error messages for possible problems.
If allocating the psspspot resource fails, follow these steps to determine and
correct the problem:
1. Perform a check on the SPOT
# nim -o check psspspot
This check should inform you if there is a problem. In our environment the
command produced the following message:
0042-001 nim: processing error encountered on
″
master
″ :
0042-062 m_ckspot:
″
psspspot
″
is missing something which is
required
2. If you are unable to determine the problem with the SPOT, you can update
the SPOT by issuing the following command:
# nim -o cust -a lpp_source=lppsource psspspot
In our environment this did not work either because of the severity of the
problem with the SPOT. Instead we got the following message:
