New page

== First Install ==

Install NIM and load with packages. Assumes contents of CDS 1,2,4,5,expansion have been copied up and update set is dumped to a directory. 
''On NIM install server:''
<pre>
installp -qaYXd /mnt/netapp/research/systems/AIX-5.3/CD1 bos.sysmgt.nim.master bos.sysmgt.nim.client bos.sysmgt.nim.spot
nim_master_setup -a device=/mnt/netapp/research/systems/AIX-5.3/CD1 -v -B
nim -o update -a packages=all -a source=/mnt/netapp/research/systems/AIX-5.3/CD2 530lpp_res
nim -o update -a packages=all -a source=/mnt/netapp/research/systems/AIX-5.3/CD4 530lpp_res
nim -o update -a packages=all -a source=/mnt/netapp/research/systems/AIX-5.3/CD5 530lpp_res
nim -o update -a packages=all -a source=/mnt/netapp/research/systems/AIX-5.3/expansion/ 530lpp_res
nim -o update -a packages=all -a source=/mnt/netapp/research/systems/AIX-5.3/Firefox 530lpp_res
</pre>

Create NIM node info from CSM definition, copy over CSM scripts and files 
''On CSM Master:''
<pre>
updatenode -kn pluto
csm2nimnodes -n p655-3
csmsetupnim
</pre>

Import bundle contents into lpp resource 
''On NIM install server:''
<pre>
gencopy -d /mnt/netapp/research/systems/AIX-5.3/RPMS -t /export/nim/lpp_source/530lpp_res -f /export/nim/custom_bundles/gnu_misc.bnd
gencopy -d /mnt/netapp/research/systems/AIX-5.3/RPMS -t /export/nim/lpp_source/530lpp_res -f /export/nim/custom_bundles/openssl.bnd
gencopy -d /mnt/netapp/research/systems/AIX-5.3/openssh -t /export/nim/lpp_source/530lpp_res -f /export/nim/custom_bundles/openssh.bnd
</pre>

Update LPP resource with technology level / service pack updates: 
''On NIM install server:''
<pre>
nim_update_all -l 530lpp_res -s 530spot_res -d /mnt/netapp/research/systems/AIX-5.3/5300-05 -B -u -v
</pre>
'''Note:''' Using gencopy to add packages to the LPP resource will overwrite any updated packages with whatever version exists in the LPP source given. For this reason, nim_update_all should be done last.

== Customize Bundles and Scripts ==

Define custom RPM bundles 
''On NIM install server:''
<pre>
nim -o define -t installp_bundle -a server=master -a location=/export/nim/custom_bundles/gnu_misc.bnd gnu_misc
nim -o define -t installp_bundle -a server=master -a location=/export/nim/custom_bundles/openssl.bnd openssl
nim -o define -t installp_bundle -a server=master -a location=/export/nim/custom_bundles/openssh.bnd openssh
nim -o define -t installp_bundle -a server=master -a location=/export/nim/custom_bundles/ldap_crypto.bnd ldap_crypto
</pre>

Define custom scripts 
''On NIM install server:''
<pre>
nim -o define -t script -a server=master -a location=/export/nim/custom_scripts/nic_customize nic_customize
</pre>

Define custom Basic Operating System configuration script: 
''On NIM install server:''
<pre>
nim -o define -t bosinst_data -a server=master -a location=/export/nim/bid_nic bid_nic
</pre>

Create a new resource group for customized install configurations 
''On NIM install server:''
<pre>
nim -o define -t res_group -a bosinst_data=bid_nic -a lpp_source=530lpp_res -a spot=530spot_res -a resolv_conf=master_net_conf nic_res_grp
nim -o change -a script=osprereboot_csmserver nic_res_grp
nim -o change -a installp_bundle=gnu_misc -a installp_bundle=openssl -a installp_bundle=openssh -a installp_bundle=ldap_crypto nic_res_grp
nim -o change -a script=nic_customize nic_res_grp
</pre>

== Update NIM Master With CSM Changes ==

Sync CSM node info with NIM; rebuild CSM node install info (scripted operations and files) and push to install server 
''On CSM Master:''
<pre>
csm2nimnodes -n p655-3
csmsetupnim -n p655-3
</pre>

== Trigger Node Install ==

Kick off a node install 
''On CSM Master:''
<pre>
ssh pluto "nim -o bos_inst -a source=rte -a group=nic_res_grp -a boot_client=no p655-3"
netboot -n p655-3 &
chnode -n p655-3 Mode=Installing AllowManageRequest=1
</pre>
