I had already downloaded the redbook but nothing about the ~RPMS/ppc tree of the lpp structure , only the one figure 2-5

I think you can easily copy them from the linux tool box to an RPM directory created under lppsource directory on the NIM master.

The consultant who was configuring our NIM server did that if i remember correctly! he just mounted the linux toolbox and copied the following

RPM/ppc to /export/AIX530/lppsource/RPMs/ppc
RPM/ppc-5.3 to /export/AIX530/lppsource/RPMs/ppc
RPM/ppc-extra to /export/AIX530/lppsource/RPMs/ppc
RPM/ppc to /export/AIX530/lppsource/RPMs/ppc
RPM/noarch to /export/AIX530/lppsource/RPMs/ppc
