3.1.10 Diskless resources
In this section, we describe how to monitor resources that are needed for node installation
and reconfiguration. For more information, see Table 3-1 on page 158.
NIM
For remote installation in AIX, we use the Network Installation Manager (NIM). The following
command is commonly used to monitor NIM resources:
lsnim
For this command, we list the help description that is shown in Figure 3-24. Typical output is
shown in Example 3-52 on page 215 and Example 3-53 on page 215. For more information
about this command, see to Table 3-1 on page 158 in the "Diskless resources (AIX) - (NIM)"
