IBM RS/6000 SP Problem Determination Manual page 90

Anytime you have a problem customizing a node, be sure that pssp_script runs
as expected, taking a look at the console log file on the node at
/ v a r / a d m / S P l o g s / s y s m a n / < n o d e > . c o n s o l e . l o g .

SP PD Guide
The problem is that the perl script mkinstall, called it from setup_server,
creates the install_info file using the initial_hostname. However, pssp_script
on the other end expects the reliable_hostname.
The mkinstall and mkconfig were changed to use the reliable_hostname
instead. Every PSSP component is sensitive to the initial_hostname or
reliable hostname variables on the SDR, so keeping them clear will avoid a
lot of problems.
Installing the NIM master option in a node that never was a boot/install
server was a problem until PTF set 9. The problem was that the installation
of this lpp created a /etc/niminfo.prev file that prevented the nodes from
being customized.
