Migration issues - niminit command failed in aix?



testlpar: # niminit -a master=testnim -a name=testlpar

0042-037 NIMkid: The state of "Hostname and Service name not provided or found" prevents this operation from succeeding.

testlpar: #



Solution:
=======

Logon to the nim server and confirmed that the lpar entry is on the NIM's /etc/hosts file, If not there, then add it., and then define the machine on the nim server, It will fix the issue.
