Configure NIM Using EZNIM

Using this scenario, you will use the SMIT EZNIM option to configure the NIM environment for the first time. The SMIT EZNIM option installs the bos.sysmgt.nim.master fileset and configure the NIM environment. The configuration involves creating the NIM database and populating it with several default entries. Several basic NIM resources will then be created and defined in the NIM database.

1. Type the following:

   # smitty eznim
   

2. Select Configure as a NIM Master, and press Enter.
3. Select Setup the NIM Master Environment, and press Enter.
4. Verify that the default selections for software source, volume group, and file system are correct for your environment. Change the selections, if needed.
5. Press Enter to begin configuring the NIM environment.
6. To display the NIM resources that have been created, do the following:
   1. Use the SMIT eznim_master_panel fast path to open the EZNIM Master menu.
   2. Select Show the NIM environment, and press Enter.
