AIX Version 4.3 Network Installation Management Guide and Reference
Backing Up the NIM Database
To back up the NIM database, you will be prompted for the name of a device or a file to which the NIM database and the /etc/niminfo file will be backed up. The level of the installed NIM master fileset will also be written to a file called /etc/NIM.level and saved in the backup. A backup of a NIM database should only be restored to a system with a NIM master fileset which is at the same level or a higher level than the level from which the backup was created.
From Web-based System Manager
- From the NIM container, from the NIM menu, select Back Up Database.
- Use the dialog to specify the backup device or file.
From SMIT
To back up the NIM database, enter the smit nim_backup_db fast path.
From the Command Line
Save the following NIM files:
- /etc/niminfo
- /etc/objrepos/nim_attr
- /etc/objrepos/nim_attr.vc
- /etc/objrepos/nim_object
- /etc/objrepos/nim_object.vc
