sphps01:
define = define an object
change = change an object' s attributes
remove = remove an object
allocate = allocate a resource for use
deallocate = deallocate a resource
diag = enable a machine to boot a diagnostic image
cust = perform software customization
bos_inst = perform a BOS installation
maint = perform software maintenance
reset = reset an object' s NIM state
lslpp = list LPP information about an object
fix_query = perform queries on installed fixes
check = check the status of a NIM object
reboot = reboot specified machines

option of the
This operation creates a new NIM machine object. In the RS/6000
SP environment, it is called by
known to the SDR.
# nim -o define -t standalone -a if1=' spnet speth02 10005aa88123' \
-a cable_type1=dix newhost
This operation creates the standalone NIM machine object newhost.
The NIM Network object spnet must exist at this time. Several
checks are made; for instance, whether the IP address for
hostname speth02 is reachable from the net spnet. Furthermore,
the attribute
There are other optional attributes for machine objects:
iplrom_emu cpuid
,
The script setup_server uses the attributes
addition to the given example.
This operation changes the values of attributes.
# nim -o change -a cable_type1=bnc newhost
or
# nim -o change -a comments="This is a comment..." newhost
To remove an optional attribute, just let the value for the attribute
void while changing the object.
# nim -o change -a comments= newhost
This operation removes a NIM machine object. Removing machine
objects is successful in case no resources are allocated to that
machine object and its
state can be enforced by resetting the object:
# nim -o remove newhost
The script setup_server removes and redefines machine objects, for
instance, in case some of the node-specific information like the
hardware address of the SP Ethernet adapter changes. This
command is very useful in determining the set of
setup_server
cable_type1
is a required for Ethernet network objects.
