NIM Server Structure

• NIM Server Resources are separated into numerous resource classes

• Each resource class will have multiple elements and the storage location for each of these elements may require further subdivision

• The purpose of the subdivision is to create a logical and manageable hierarchy within the NIM structure

• There are two distinct areas of definition of a resource class

  • Resource class instance name
    • NIM Server identification
  • Resource location
    • File system identification
