Error description
When performing a nimadm operation on a nimsh client, the following error may occur during initialization: Initializing the NIM master. Initializing NIM client <client_hostname>. <client_hostname>: Connection refused 0505-159 nimadm: WARNING, unexpected result from remote command to <client_hostname>. 0505-153 nimadm: Unable to execute remote client commands. Cleaning up alt_disk_migration on the NIM master. The problem is caused when there is a client defined on the NIM master that has an invalid if1 attribute. The invalid client definition could be for any client defined on the NIM master. Usually this will take the form of an invalid hostname, which is the second field in the if1 attribute. For example: # lsnim -a if1 kintarobso kintarobso: if1 = <network> <hostname> <MAC address> 0
Local fix
Verify that all clients are defined with a valid if1 attribute.
