Edit online

Follow these steps to add a client with the network information using SMIT when the client is running.

  1. On a system that you have chosen to be a NIM client, verify that if the bos.sysmgt.nim.client fileset is installed by typing the following: # lslpp -L bos.sysmgt.nim.client
  2. If the bos.sysmgt.nim.client fileset is not installed, then install the fileset from the AIX® Volume 1 CD/DVD by typing the following: # installp -acXd /dev/cd0 bos.sysmgt.nim.client
  3. Enter the smit niminit fast path.
  4. Supply the values for the required fields or accept the defaults. Use the help information and the LIST option to help you specify the correct values for defining your client machine.
