If you're trying to restoring an mksysb through NIM and constantly get the same error when trying to restore a mksysb on different systems:

0042-006 niminit (To-master) rcmd connection refused
This may be caused by the "nimesis" daemon not running on the NIM server. Make sure it's enabled in /etc/inittab on the NIM server:
# grep nim /etc/inittab
nim:2:wait:/usr/bin/startsrc -g nim >/dev/console 2>&1
