Types of NIM OS Installs

  • RTE
  • Same as a single disk or most basic of installs to get an operating system on a server instance that will boot.
  • This is the fastest install.
  • Spot
  • This is a full and customizable installation of a selected AIX OS level that can include patches and/or specific software.
  • This is generally the slowest of installs
  • MKSYSB
  • This is instituted in one of two ways:
  • Clone Install of a system
  • Bare Metal Restore of a systems root volume group.
  • Takes an exact image of one system and keeps all file-sets intact while installing any hardware specific requirements to a new host.
