Description
When performing a NIM Resource Network Boot, SysBack must be installed into
the NIM SPOT resource in order for the SysBack programs to be available during
a network boot. The sbspotcust command reads the installation filesets from the
specified input device or directory, copies them into the specified NIM
LPPSOURCE directory, and installs them into the NIM SPOT from the NIM
LPPSOURCE directory.
Note: You must run this command before adding a NIM Resource Network Boot
client to ensure that the client’s boot image contains the SysBack programs.
If you install or update the SysBack filesets contained in the NIM SPOT
resource after the network boot client is added, you must update the
network boot image used by the client using the mksbnetboot command.

-n “spot name”
