PLM Installation

• PLM is a normal AIX fileset that may be installed on any system with access to the HMC(s) and access to the managed LPARs

• Experience has shown the NIM server is a good location to install the PLM software

  • NIM usually has access to all LPARs
  • NIM can easily be granted access to all HMCs

• The PLM installation will require:

  • csm.client fileset on the PLM server and all client LPARs
  • ssh to access the HMC
  • rsh for initial access to each LPAR
    • Can be turned off after initial access
