NIM mksysb recovery
I have multiple LPARS on p650 with mix of AIX5.2 and AIX5.1 with different rml level
My understanding is creating mksysb nim on NIM server is for new installation of LPARS
Then;
How do I do mksysb backup on existing lpars for recovery purpose or how do I do all mksysb to a NFS mounted Filesystem on NIM server
my NIM server is lpar3 with AIX5.2 RML 5 and cd rom is on my lpar4

Hi All,
Please excuse the possibly naive question but I'm trying to clone/install a new AIX 5.3 LPAR on a p570 from a mksysb image file using nim. Has anyone done this before and if so, what would the exact command look like?
Does it even remotely resemble something like

Hi,
I just want to ask whether anyone has experience on restoring mksysb backup in NIM. We have taken the mksysb backup and the SPOT has been configured on NIM also.

I am implementing mksysb backups using NIM. I am using nimsh as client communication and mksysb backup are working fine, but this requires remote logon to be enabled for root.
Any thoughts on how can I implement mksysb backups using NIM without enabling remote logon for "root" ? (1 Reply)

working through VIOS backup options. Generally, we store mksysb's on a server and then NFS mount them from it to copy to a VIO optical library, etc.
In the case of a VIO backup, I see the -mksysb option to backupios and understand that it doesn't include the NIM resources in the backup.

mapiconcepts - MAPI Concepts
MAPI objects
Almost any MAPI data you access, read or edit is associated with an object. No matter whether you intend to browse mailbox hierarchy, open
folders, create tables or access items (messages, appointments, contacts, tasks, notes), you will have to initialize and use MAPI objects:
object understanding and manipulation is fundamental.
o When developing MAPI clients with Microsoft framework, instantiated objects inherit from parent classes. As a matter of fact, developers
know which methods they can apply to objects and we suppose it makes their life easier.
o In OpenChange, objects are opaque. They are generic data structures which content is set and accessed through MAPI public functions.
Therefore, Linux MAPI developers must know what they are doing.
An example of MAPI object manipulation is shown below:
mapi_object obj_store;
[...]
mapi_object_init(&obj_store);
retval = OpenMsgStore(&obj_store);
if (retval != MAPI_E_SUCCESS) {
mapi_errstr('OpenMsgStore', GetLastError());
exit (1);
}
mapi_object_release(&obj_store);
MAPI Handles
Beyond memory management considerations, understanding MAPI handles role in object manipulation provides a better understanding why
mapi_object_release() matters.
Handles are temporary identifiers returned by Exchange when you access or create objects on the server. They are used to make reference to
a particular object all along its session lifetime. They are stored in unsigned integers, are unique for each object but temporary along
MAPI session. Handles are the only links between objects accessed on the client side and efficiently stored on the server side.
Although OpenChange MAPI makes handles manipulation transparent for developers, mapi_object_release() frees both the allocated memory for
the object on client side, but also releases the object on the server.
