You can configure a NIM server to be a NIM client too. Still, that won't help you in upgrading the first NIM server, as you cannot install a version later than what the NIM server was installed with. You could, though, install all your other NIM servers from the one you install now.

Under "normal" circumstances (in other words: as far as i know ;-) ) there is nothing special to consider in upgrading the system because of its special role.

You could, btw., use the alt_disk_install method even when installing from CDs, which would reduce the downtime of the NIM server and would allow you to revert to the previous state in case something goes wrong.

For security reasons you could varyoff the VG wth the NIM resources (you don't have them in rootvg, do you?) and take an mksysb image from the system before the update, but i suppose you know that yourself.

I hope this helps.

Upgrading to AIX 7 vs migrating
