Network Objects
Machine Objects
Resource Objects
There are several types of resource objects.
The network object describes the network that can be used for the
installation process. Several network objects can exist at the same
time. Within the RS/6000 SP environment, the network objects name
is spnet.
# lsnim -l spnet
spnet:
class = networks
type = ent
net_addr = 192.168.0.0
snm = 255.255.255.0
Nstate = ready for use
prev_state = information is missing from this object' s definition
This network object allows the installation of a node by use of the
RS/6000 SP internal Ethernet.
The representation of the systems which become installed are
machine objects.
The three types of machine objects are:
•
standalone
•
diskless
•
dataless
NIM client and other information is stored on the master. Within the
RS/6000 SP environment, there is a machine object for each node of
the RS/6000 SP. They will run as .standalone systems after the
installation.
# lsnim -l sshps01
sphps01:
class
type
Cstate
prev_state
Mstate
cpuid
platform
if1
cable_type1
Cstate_result = reset
This class of objects represents resources which are available in the
NIM environment. Resource objects represent files and directories
which are necessary for some NIM operation like the BOS installation
of a NIM client. Several of these resources are allocated to a
machine object depending on the software or the used installation
process.
