 Now you can define mksysb resources:

 After testing, the time to install the system using mksysb resources is greatly shortened, about 20 minutes.
 Note: Because the mksysb resource also depends on SPOT, for systems such as AIX 5312/6108/7102, you need to refer to the SPOT script modification method in Part 9.
