Adding a client without the network information using SMIT

Edit online

You can use a new remote service for defining clients in the NIM environment. Follow these directions to use this new service with SMIT.

The new service is called the NIM Service Handler (NIMSH), and it runs on potential NIM clients. When you define a system using NIMSH, no information is required for defining the client object. For additional information, see Using the NIM service handler for client communication.

To define NIM clients using nimquery, complete the following steps:
  1. Type the fast path smitty nim_query on the NIM master.
  2. Specify the hostname of the machine to query.
    Note: The machines must have NIMSH daemon active.
  3. Select yes as the option for Adding Machine to the NIM Environment if you are adding the machine as a NIM client object.
  4. Specify the new client object name.
