Cleaning up alt_disk_migration on the NIM master.
The NIM master communicates with the NIM client either via r-commands (rsh, rexec, ...) or via a special protocol nimsh . Either there is a configuration mismatch (server wants to use one, client the other) OR the configured service is not running on your client OR the communication is blocked (like by a firewall in between).
