I've upgraded a server to 5.1 from a 4.3.3 NIM server- but there were some "bumps in the road". I don't recommend it.
You can have a NIM master running 5.2 which can have various lpp resources for AIX 5.2, 5.1, and 4.X.
You want the NIM server to be running an OS = or > than the clients you will be intalling. IBM support will require that also before they can help you.

I may be wrong but it is my understanding that the NIM server has to be the same versions as the image. You can have multiply images with different configurations but the OS version must be the same.

[mailto:BTHarvey@LMUS.LEGGMASON.COM] Sent: Friday, October 24, 2003 9:13 AM To: aix-l@princeton.edu Subject: NIM - multiple O/S Releases on one master machine? The NIM doc is nice but narrow-focused. Can you put different O/S releases on a single master? For example, could a 4.3.3 machine host a master for 5.1 and 5.2 in addition to 4.3.3? Or can a machine only host its own release of software?
