IBM AIX NIM (Network Installation Management)

NIM provides an environment to remotely install, upgrade, backup and maintain IBM AIX machines over the network. Using a management application (Network Installation Manager) on the NIM server, AIX filesets can be installed and managed remotely on NIM clients.

In a NIM system, the managed objects are NIM clients, SPOTs, LPARs, lpp_sources, mksysb images, etc.
