Commands
The following commands are shipped with the NIMOL RPM:
nimol_config
Configures a Linux server to install AIX with NIM
nimol_install
Sets up a client for AIX installation
nimol_lslpp
Lists software installed on an AIX client
nimol_update
Installs software updates onto an AIX client
nimol_backup
Creates an installable backup of an AIX client
Note: These commands are available on the Linux server. For additional information on these commands, run the man command on the Linux server with the name of the specific NIMOL command.
Configuring the Linux server
To configure the Linux server, complete the following:
Insert the AIX product CD that contains the NIMOL RPM into the Linux server.
Install the following RPMs, which are requisite for SUSE LINUX 9.0 and Red Hat 9.0:
dhcp
tftp
nfs-utils
gettext
The following RPMs are additional requisites for Red Hat 9.0 only:
dhcp-server
tftp-server
Insert the AIX product CD Volume 1 into the Linux server.
Install the NIMOL RPM by running the following commands:
mount /dev/cdrom rpm -ivh /mnt/cdrom/RPMS/linux/nimol*
Run the following command to configure the Linux server:
nimol_config -C
The nimol_config command configures the basic services required to install AIX on clients with NIM, such as bootp, tftp, nfs, and syslog. The command uses the dhcp server to respond to client bootp requests.
Note: You should not manually modify the /etc/dhcpd.conf file because the modifications might interfere with the ability of NIMOL to add and remove subnet and host entries.
