Define Installation Resources
The first resource to create is a generic mksysb image.
# ls -l /export/mksysb/*/*mksb
-rw-r--r-- 1 root system 2252595200 Mar 02 16:11 /export/mksysb/6106/6100-06-01-1043.mksb
# nim -o define -t mksysb -a server=master -a location=/export/mksysb/${OSLEVEL}/`oslevel -s`.mksb mksb_${OSLEVEL}_generic
# lsnim
master machines master
boot resources boot
nim_script resources nim_script
n392 networks ent
mksb_6106_generic resources mksysb
The classic NIM resources: lpp_source and spot
# nim -o define -t lpp_source -a server=master -a source=/dev/cd0 -a location=/export/${OSLEVEL}/lpp lpp_${OSLEVEL}
Preparing to copy install images (this will take several minutes)...

Now checking for missing install images...
All required install images have been found. This lpp_source is now ready.
# nim -o define -t spot -a server=master -a source=lpp_${OSLEVEL} -a location=/export/${OSLEVEL}/spot spot_${OSLEVEL}
Creating SPOT in "/export/6106/spot" on machine "master" from "lpp_6106" ...
