The CPU ID of a NIM client is stored in the NIM database so that the master can perform verification that NIM client commands are coming from the machines that were originally registered as clients. A NIM administrator would not want this CPU ID validation to be performed in the following situations:
To enable or disable NIM client CPU ID validation from the NIM application:
Manage the client CPU ID validation from the SMIT interface by typing the SMIT fast path:
smit nim_cpuid_validate
Client CPU ID validation can be managed on the NIM master by using the validate_cpuid attribute.
To disable client CPU ID validation, set the attribute validate_cpuid=no on the NIM master:
nim -o change -a validate_cpuid=no master
To perform client CPU ID validation, remove the validate_cpuid attribute from the master by setting it to "yes":
nim -o change -a validate_cpuid=yes master
