Hi,
I am trying to fully automate the install of our machines through NIM.
I ran into a few problems but here is my latest:
I want the BOS installed from a BOS lpp, and some additional software
(VAC, EMD odm packages etc...) installed from different lpp_source's.
Apparently you cannot specify more than one lpp_source at a time (for
example when you run your "nim -o define -t bosinst_data"), so I decided
to put the install of extra software in the customization script. But now
"nimclient -cust" is saying that I cannot do any operation because the
machine is under the controller of the NIM master.
"nimclient -Fo reset" and "nimclient -o deallocate -a subclass=all" give
me the same error. I have to deallocate from the NIM server, which breaks
my automation....
Has anybody done this before ?
I have seen people exporting the lpp and installing over NFS, but I'd
rather avoid that.
Thanks,
Yves.
