how to update ML of NIM client from NIM server?

[polani]

hi

i do have one NIM server ( AIX 6.1 ML02 ) and three NIM clients running at AIX 6.1 ML02.

Now i want to know what could be easiest way to update ML02 to ML04 using NIM? I have already downloaded ML04 fixes to /export/nim/ML06 directory on NIM server.

What is the way to update existing AIXML02_lppsource on NIM server and then use this updated lpp_source to upgrade ML of NIM client servers?

In this case , should i update AIXML02_spot as well? What will be the command for that purpose?

first, apply the TL04 to the NIM master (NIM master always needs to be a same or higher level as clients)

next, create the LPP package in nim for TL04

then this should work on the client (TARGET=client):
nim -o cust -a lpp_source=LPP -a accept_licenses=yes \
-a fixes=update_all TARGET
