Installing SysBack into a SPOT Resource
The NIM SPOT resource must have SysBack installed in order for the SysBack
boot and installation process to succeed. It is important that SysBack is installed
into the NIM SPOT using this utility rather than NIM commands. SysBack has
special binaries for different levels of AIX. Using this utility to install the product
ensures that the correct binaries are applied based on the AIX version of the SPOT
rather than the AIX version of the system where the SPOT resides.
Note: When performing a network boot in order to restore from a TSM server, you
must install the TSM API client filesets using NIM commands. This utilities
is designed to support only the installing of the SysBack product into the
SPOT.
Use the Install SysBack into a Spot Resource for a first time installation of
SysBack into a NIM SPOT resource or to update the level of SysBack installed in
that SPOT resource.
To install SysBack into a NIM SPOT Resource:
1. From the NIM Resource Boot menu, select Install SysBack into a Spot
Resource.
Note: From a command line, type smit sb_nimspotcust.
2. Type the device or directory name where the SysBack install image resides.
