5. SysBack must be installed on the boot server.
Note: If filesets are installed specifically to support a boot client, the server
must be rebooted and the network boot image updated or recreated
before the client can successfully boot from the boot server.
NIM Resource Boot
The SysBack NIM Resource Boot method provides a mechanism for the user to use
existing NIM SPOT and LPPSOURCE resources in combination with SysBack
boot/installation operations. The NIM Resource Boot method relies on an existing
NIM SPOT to provide the network boot image and an existing NIM LPPSOURCE
to provide the device support that the client may need to support attached
hardware. Therefore, the following requirements must be met by the NIM
resources:
1. The NIM resources must be correctly configured before attempting to use them
with SysBack. For more information on configuring NIM and its resources,
refer to the book, Network Installation Manager Guide and Reference.
2. The NIM SPOT resource server must be the same server to which the client
will send its BOOTP request.
3. The NIM LPPSOURCE resource server can be either the same server, or a
different server, than the NIM SPOT resource server.
4. The boot client has been previously configured as a NIM client.
5. The NIM SPOT resource meets the operating system level, kernel support, and
device support requirements for a boot server using the Classic Network Boot
method described above.
Note: If any filesets are installed to the NIM SPOT resource to specifically
support the boot of a particular client, the network boot image must be
updated or recreated before the client will successfully boot from the
boot server.
6. The NIM LPPSOURCE resource contains any the filesets needed to support
attached hardware, or any kernel support filesets to support processor type
(uniprocessor vs. multiprocessor) that the client will require and are not already
contained within the backup image to be installed.
7. SysBack must be installed in the NIM SPOT resource. For more information on
installing Sysback into a NIM SPOT resource, see “Installing SysBack into a
SPOT Resource” on page 13-10.
Note: If SysBack is installed into a NIM SPOT resource to support SysBack
boot clients, the network boot image must be updated or recreated
before the client can successfully boot from the boot server.
