Adding a client without the network information from the command line

You can use a new remote service for defining clients in the NIM environment. Follow these directions to use the new service from the command line.

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 the nimquery command on the command line, type the following:
# nimquery -a host=hostname -a name=obj_name -d

For more information on defining NIM clients using NIMSH, see the nimquery command.
