Full Discussion: NIM Master as Mgmt Server
Operating Systems AIX NIM Master as Mgmt Server Post 302410871 by bakunin on Wednesday 7th of April 2010 04:40:24 AM

I would tell the customer that the NIM server is off limits, period, and if s/he wants an access server s/he should consider buying one - PERIOD!

A NIM server is IMHO much too sensible and too important for the technical aspects of the NIM clients operation to give quasi-public access to. It is a system where only the Sysadmins should have access, nobody else.

If the customer is not willing to buy the necessary hardware maybe s/he doesn't really need to services provided by the system or - at least - they are not as important as s/he claims.

IT is like a music box: put money in above and you get music out below. Save the money and all you get is silence.

I hope this helps.
