Network Installation Management Guide and Reference
Normally an lpp_source
resource is created by copying installation images from installation media to
the hard disk of the lpp_source server. If disk space is
limited on the server or if an lpp_source is needed quickly, it may
be useful to use a directory mounted from CD-ROM installation media as the
lpp_source.
- Select the Resources container.
- From the Resources menu, select New Resource.
- Follow the wizard instructions to create the lpp_source
resource.
Note: You can also define an lpp_source
resource through the Configure NIM wizard, both when you are configuring your
environment, and after configuration.
- Mount the CD as a CDROM file
system. The installation images can be found in the
/usr/sys/inst.images directory under the mount point of the
CDROM file system.
- To define the lpp_source using the
directory of install images, enter the smit nim_mkres fast
path.
- Specify the name of the machine with the CD-ROM as
the Server.
- Specify
CD_MountPoint/usr/sys/inst.images as the location
of the lpp_source, and leave the Source field blank.
- Mount the CD as a CDROM file
system. The installation images can be found in the
/usr/sys/inst.images directory under the mount point of the
CDROM file system.
- Define the lpp_source using the directory
of install images for the location attribute. Do not specify
a value for the source attribute, since an existing set of images
will be used. With the CD mounted at /cdfs on the NIM
master, to define an lpp_source named cd_images,
enter:
nim -o define -t lpp_source -a server=master
\
-a location=/cdfs/usr/sys/inst.images cd_images
