Using the NIM activate operation

Edit online

Use the activate operation to start a managed system. The client must have a valid mgmt_profile for the managing system, and the managing system must be running.

The command line syntax for the activate operation is as follows:

nim -o activate -a Attribute=Value ... TargetName|TargetNames

The target of an activate operation can be a WPAR client or group of WPAR clients.

There are no required attributes for the activate operation. The following optional attributes can be specified for the activate operation:

-a cmd_flags=Value: Specifies flags to pass through to the operation on the managing system to activate the system. For WPAR clients, see the startwpar command for allowable flags.
-a group=Value: Specifies the name of a WPAR group to use for the operation.
-a show_progress=Value: Indicates whether status should be displayed as the operation is performed. The default value is show_progress=yes.
