how to do a NIM BOS install of a new LPAR using a mksysb |
Description
Prerequisites for this procedure:
1) LPAR is already created on the HMC (we used shared ethernet (SEA) from a VIO server in this example)
2) mksysb and SPOT are available on the NIM master server
3) New LPAR already created as a NIM client on the NIM master server
Define the BOS install in the NIM server:
# nim -o bos_inst -a source=mksysb -a spot=SPOT_mksysb_aixnotd1 -a mksysb=mksysb_aixnotd1 -a accept_licenses=yes -a installp_flags=-acNgXY -a no_client_boot=yes -a preserve_res=yes aixnotd1tmp
where:
SPOT_mksysb_aixnotd1: the NIM resource name of the SPOT for your mksysb
mksysb_aixnotd1: the NIM resource name for the mksysb image
aixnotd1tmp: the NIM client name you defined for your new LPAR
Now, you are ready to do a network install from your new LPAR.
1) From the HMC, activate the new LPAR and open the console window
2) Go into the SMS menu by either hitting 1 when you see the word keyboard on the console or set this in the advanced options when activating the LPAR
3) Select Option 2 (Setup Remote IPL (Initial Program Load))
4) Select Option 1 (Interpartition Logical LAN)
5) Select Option 1 (IPv4)
6) Select Option 1 (Bootp)
7) Select Option 1 (IP Parameters)
8) Enter IP address information for NIM server and client, subnet mask and default route
9) Hit ESC to return to the previous menu
10) Select Option 3 (Ping test), type 1 to run a ping test
11) If you see Ping successful, hit ESC to return to the previous menu, otherwise make corrections to the IP information you entered
12) Select SHIFT-M to return to the main menu
13) Select Option 5 (Select Boot Options)
14) Select Option 1 (Select Install/Boot Device)
15) Select Option 6 (Network)
16) Select Option 1 (Bootp)
17) Select Option 1 (Interpartition Logical LAN)
18) Select Option 2 (Normal Boot Mode)
19) Select Option 1 (Yes)
20) Download of the SPOT by tftp begins
21) AIX installation begins... you will be asked questions about install options such as the console, language, hdisk to install on, etc...
22) After the installation completes, the server automatically reboots.
23) Complete normal AIX installation procedures. |
Example
nim -o bos_inst -a source=mksysb -a spot=SPOT_mksysb_aixnotd1 -a mksysb=mksysb_aixnotd1 -a accept_licenses=yes -a installp_flags=-acNgXY -a no_client_boot=yes -a preserve_res=yes aixnotd1tmp |
