... but when I type this command in terminal, I get this error:
Code:
# /usr/lpp/bos.sysmgt/nim/methods/c_sm_nim cust -l 'RPMS_AIX53' -o '@@R:sudo-1.6.9p23-2noldap 1.6.9p23-2noldap' -f '' -f '' -f 'Y' -f 'c' -f 'N' -f 'g' -f 'X' -f '' -f ''

0042-231 c_sm_nim: Unable to generate the formatted list of software
to install.
This command is not supposed to be used outside SMIT. Use a simple "nim" command, which is done in two steps: first allocate the resource on the nim server, then use it on the client:
Code:
nim -o allocate -a lpp_source=<lpp_source> <client>
nim -o cust -a lpp_source=<lpp_source> -a filesets=<fileset> <client>
Has anyone ever done this and is it easy to do with SLES9/10? All I can find so far is this link

Can you still use all the feature of autoyast etc?
TIA. (1 Reply)
