Installing Linux from a NIM server
Body
Jason Furmanek has published a nice article on his experiences and insights in setting up a NIM server (more typically done with AIX installations..) to install RHEL 6 on a Power system. If you're an AIX customer - this could be very beneficial.... Questions are welcome on the forums. This page emerged from an ongoing discussion on the forums.
From his article..
The process of booting and installing a Linux server from the network is valuable for many reasons. It is efficient, predictable, and customizable. The time spend up front on boot server configuration is usually well worth the effort.
This page will walk through the methods of setting up a boot server on AIX that can be used to install Red Hat Enterprise Linux onto Power servers or LPARs over the network.
