Performing advanced NIM installation tasks

You can perform many advanced NIM installation tasks using the NIM interface, the System Management Interface Tool (SMIT), or the command line.

Defining machine groups
Machine groups can be defined to collect multiple clients in a common target for NIM operations. Groups can be defined for standalone, diskless, or dataless clients; but a group can only contain clients of a single type.
Adding new members to machine groups
New members can be added to machine groups, however, the new member must be of the same machine type as existing members.
Including and excluding group members from operations on the group
Group members may be included or excluded by using the NIM application, SMIT, or from the command line.
