hmm - are you guys related? gull04 and gull05 
I have an old article on setting up a NIM server - http://www.rootvg.net/content/view/431/309/ - that should give you an idea of what is involved. Read more here on unix.com - there is also lots of material here. Or google further.
FYI: cloneing via mksysb is one of AIX's strengths - since the early 90's. But it does require more than novice understanding of AIX administration - especially when changing the base hardware.

3. UNIX for Dummies Questions & Answers
Hello,
With AIX 5.3 is it possible to run a mksysb with users logged into the system?
The users are accessing a database app that runs on a separate physical disk than the system files. Does this even matter?
Thanks (1 Reply)
