NIM Questions
I have been trying to increase the NIM usage in my AIX environment especially for patching, got few questions
1. If I have a service pack available in the nim server, how do I define that particular directory as an LPP source, without again copying it somewhere else ie I want to define that directory itself as an lpp_source
2. Is there any way I can install e-fix from Nim server on to clients?
3. Does the below make sense?
Download a TL -> create lpp source of that TL -> add service packs to that lpp_source -> add APAR's to that lpp_source

Friend's,
I was playing around with NIM in my environment & had a quick question in mind which I didn't/couldn't find answer to, which is -- how to find the name of the NIM server sitting on the NIM client?
All leads to the answer would be much appreciated, many thanks!

rpccp_add_entry
add entry(1m) add entry(1m)
NAME
add entry - Adds a name service entry to the name service database
SYNOPSIS
rpccp add entry entry-name [-s syntax]
OPTIONS
Indicates the name syntax of the entry name (optional). The only value for this option is the dce name syntax, which is the default name
syntax. Until an alternative name syntax becomes available, specifying the -s option is unnecessary.
ARGUMENTS
Specifies the name of the target name service entry. For an entry in the local cell, you can omit the cell name and specify only the cell-
relative name.
DESCRIPTION
The add entry command adds an unspecialized entry to the name service database. The name of the entry is required.
The new entry initially contains no NSI attributes. This command creates a general name service entry for an application or user. The
application or user can later use the export, add element, and add member commands to make the generic entry into a server entry, a group,
or a profile (or a combination), as follows: For a server entry, specify the new entry as the target entry for the rpccp export command.
For a group, specify the new entry as the target group for the rpccp add member command. For a profile, specify the new entry as the tar-
get profile for the rpccp add element command.
The add entry command enables administrators to add entries for users who lack the required permissions. If you have the permissions
required by the add entry command, you can also add an entry using an export, add member, or add element command; if the entry you specify
does not exist, the command creates the entry.
Privilege Required
To add an entry, you need insert permission to the parent directory and both read permission and write permission to the CDS object entry
(the target name service entry).
NOTE
This command is replaced at Revision 1.1 by the dcecp command and may not be provided in future releases of DCE.
EXAMPLES
The following commands start RPCCP and add an unspecialized entry to the name service database: $ rpccp rpccp> add entry >
/.:/LandS/anthro/Cal_host_2 The following command operates from the system prompt to add an unspecialized entry to the name service data-
base: $ rpccp add entry > /.:/LandS/anthro/Cal_host_3
