your choices.
Rebuilding Network Boot Images
If software is updated or installed in the boot source, you must update or rebuild
the boot image. For the Classic Boot method, the source would be the /usr of the
boot server. For the NIM Resource Boot method, the source would be the NIM
SPOT resource.
To rebuild a network boot image:
1. From either the Classic Boot Method or NIM Resource Network Boot Method
menu, select Rebuild Boot Images.
Note: From the command line, type smit sb_updbootimage.
2. Press F4 to list the images and select an image to update.
Note: Although you can select individual boot images to rebuild, all the boot
images associated with a single NIM SPOT, even if you choose only one
image.
3. Press Enter to confirm your choices.
Removing a Network Boot/Install Client
This option will remove a network boot client and all information configured for
network installation from the boot server/resources.
This affects only SysBack configurations and does not change any previously
defined NIM resource information.
To remove a network boot/install client:
1. From the NIM Resource Boot menu, select Remove a Network Boot/Install
Client.
Note: From a command line, type smit sb_ucfgbootclient.
2. Highlight the client and press Enter.
3. Press Enter to confirm your choice.
Initiating an SP Node Boot and Install
This menu option enables the user to initiate the network boot sequence for an SP
node because the RS/6000 Scalable POWERParallel systems have special
requirements for installing and cloning.
