Mark,
All the info you have been getting is "correct" and the RedBook will make
that clear. But I think the one thing you are asking has not been
said/answered.... "How do I load a system (P670) that has no CD locally?"
You will have to have a virtual console window from the HMC so that you can
talk to the box and setup SMS network settings. Then, your only choice for
getting the 5.2 OS onto this empty system is to NIM the P670 from a NIM
server that is at or above the OS you are trying to install.
Please feel free to write back if you would like more info. I am new at
this (P670's that is, not NIM), but we just did the same a couple months
ago.

I just got in a user p670 that doesn't have a graphics card. It is
connected to a HMC console but the 670 has no bootable image. I want to
install AIX 5.2 but how am I going to communicate through the install
process. It must be through the HMC, can someone give me the path?
thanks.
