There is a lot you will have to do
So you may want to break what you need to know in to more posts
basics are
Make sure the nimserver has the latest oslevel as it can not recover systems of higher level
NFS mount space on the nim server to all the systems that you neet to recover
Now you can do mksysb via cron to the NFS mount point
to restore you have to follow the same prosedure as the system build but you will use the new mksysb you have
I hope this helps

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.

rpc.statd
rpc.statd(8) System Manager's Manual rpc.statd(8)
NAME
rpc.statd, statd - Network status monitor daemon
SYNOPSIS
/usr/sbin/rpc.statd [-c]
OPTIONS
Available only on TruCluster Server systems. This option starts the clusterwide network status daemon, which helps provide highly available
NFS service. Do not use -c directly. Highly available NFS service is configured by default and typically does not require intervention. If
you do need to start the clusterwide network status daemon, use the CAA command, caa_start cluster_lockd.
For more information, see the TruCluster Server Administration manual.
DESCRIPTION
The rpc.statd daemon monitors the status of the client and server sites in response to a request made by the local rpc.lockd daemon. When
a site failure is detected, the rpc.statd daemon notifies the local rpc.lockd daemon, which then processes the recovery of the locked files
or file regions.
RESTRICTIONS
The crash of a site is only detected on its recovery.
FILES
A directory created by the statd daemon. Each file name in the directory is the host name of a client or server that the statd daemon will
notify upon its recovery. A backup directory created by the statd daemon. A file created by the statd daemon to store its state number.
