AIX 5L nim mksysb command
Hi All,
Please excuse the possibly naive question but I'm trying to clone/install a new AIX 5.3 LPAR on a p570 from a mksysb image file using nim. Has anyone done this before and if so, what would the exact command look like?
Does it even remotely resemble something like
nim -o alt_disk_install -a source=mksysb\
-a image_data=image_data_file\
-a disk='hdisk1' <NEWLPARNAME>
Thanks
Lee

I am implementing mksysb backups using NIM. I am using nimsh as client communication and mksysb backup are working fine, but this requires remote logon to be enabled for root.
Any thoughts on how can I implement mksysb backups using NIM without enabling remote logon for "root" ? (1 Reply)

working through VIOS backup options. Generally, we store mksysb's on a server and then NFS mount them from it to copy to a VIO optical library, etc.
In the case of a VIO backup, I see the -mksysb option to backupios and understand that it doesn't include the NIM resources in the backup.

Clone(3) User Contributed Perl Documentation Clone(3)
NAME
Clone - recursively copy Perl datatypes
SYNOPSIS
package Foo;
use parent 'Clone';
package main;
my $original = Foo->new;
$copy = $original->clone;
# or
use Clone qw(clone);
$a = { 'foo' => 'bar', 'move' => 'zig' };
$b = [ 'alpha', 'beta', 'gamma', 'vlissides' ];
$c = Foo->new;
$d = clone($a);
$e = clone($b);
$f = clone($c);
DESCRIPTION
This module provides a clone() method which makes recursive copies of nested hash, array, scalar and reference types, including tied
variables and objects.
clone() takes a scalar argument and duplicates it. To duplicate lists, arrays or hashes, pass them in by reference. e.g.
my $copy = clone (@array);
# or
my %copy = %{ clone (\%hash) };
SEE ALSO
Storable's dclone() is a flexible solution for cloning variables, albeit slower for average-sized data structures. Simple and naive
benchmarks show that Clone is faster for data structures with 3 or less levels, while dclone() can be faster for structures 4 or more
levels deep.
