Creating network boot images to support defined clients and networks from the command line

To rebuild the list of machine types and networks that must be supported by network boot images in the NIM environment, perform a change operation on the NIM master with the if_discover=yes attribute:

  nim -o change -a if_discover=yes master

To rebuild network boot images from a SPOT, perform a check operation on the SPOT with the force option:

  nim -Fo check spot_name

If an administrator prefers to have NIM always create all possible boot images from the SPOT resources, the if_prebuild=yes attribute can be specified on the master:

  nim -o change -a if_prebuild=yes master

To return NIM to the behavior of creating only the boot images that are required for the environment, remove the if_prebuild attribute from the master by setting it to "no":

  nim -o change -a if_prebuild=no master
