AIX NIM installation
Could you please let me know, if it is possible to have NIM server running on one volume group and other applications like oracle running on other volume group. Do we need to have a dedicated server for only AIX NIM server?. I am new to AIX and planning to install NIM server on a test server. which has oracle database running on it. we have one unused disk on the server. so we are planning to create a volume group on the disk and install NIM Server on this volume group. Does it has any effect on the oracle server running on the server.
Do we need licenses for installing NIM server or we can download NIM filesets from IBM site.

backup_listvolsets
BACKUP_LISTVOLSETS(8) AFS Command Reference BACKUP_LISTVOLSETS(8)
NAME
backup_listvolsets - Lists volume set entries from the Backup Database
SYNOPSIS
backup listvolsets [-name <volume set name>] [-localauth]
[-cell <cell name>] [-help]
backup listv [-n <volume set name>] [-l]
[-c <cell name>] [-h]
DESCRIPTION
The backup listvolsets command displays the Backup Database records for either
o All volume sets and their volume entries, if the -name argument is omitted.
o The volume set specified by the -name argument, along with its volume entries.
OPTIONS
-name <volume set name>
Names the volume set to display. If this argument is omitted, the output lists all volume sets defined in the Backup Database.
-localauth
Constructs a server ticket using a key from the local /etc/openafs/server/KeyFile file. The backup command interpreter presents it to
the Backup Server, Volume Server and VL Server during mutual authentication. Do not combine this flag with the -cell argument. For more
details, see backup(8).
-cell <cell name>
Names the cell in which to run the command. Do not combine this argument with the -localauth flag. For more details, see backup(8).
-help
Prints the online help for this command. All other valid options are ignored.
OUTPUT
The entry for each volume set begins with the "Volume set" header and the volume set's name. A temporary volume set's name is followed by
the string " (temporary)". Each volume entry follows on a separate line, indicating the entry's index number and the server, partition, and
volume names it matches. The output uses the metacharacter notation described on the backup addvolentry reference page. Use the index
number to identify volume entries when deleting them with the backup delvolentry command.
EXAMPLES
The following example shows the volume entries in the three volume sets currently defined in the Backup Database:
% backup listvolsets
Volume set user:
Entry 1: server .*, partition .*, volumes: user.*.backup
Volume set sun
Entry 1: server .*, partition .*, volumes: sun4x_55..*
Entry 2: server .*, partition .*, volumes: sun4x_56..*
Volume set rs
Entry 1: server .*, partition .*, volumes: rs_aix42..*
PRIVILEGE REQUIRED
The issuer must be listed in the /etc/openafs/server/UserList file on every machine where the Backup Server is running, or must be logged
onto a server machine as the local superuser "root" if the -localauth flag is included.
