NIM - install up-to-date VIOS ?
Hello,

Is it possible to install up-to-date vios in one NIM operation ?
For example I have vios v2.1 DVD and current vios version is v2.2.1.3(we update to fixpack v2.2.1.1_FP25 and apply service pack 2.2.1.3-FP25-SP01)

I know it's possible if we install AIX using NIM - we just update lpp_source to the latest TL and create spot from it - result up to date AIX in one NIM operation.

Cite from vios update readme:
Quote:
NIM users can update by creating a single, merged lpp_source that combines the contents of the Migration DVD with the contents of this Update Release 2.2.1.1 and the Service Release 2.2.1.3.
How do I update/merge vios lpp_source ?

thanks
Vilius

working through VIOS backup options.

NAME

       install-solaris - install the Solaris operating system

SYNOPSIS

       install-solaris

       install-solaris	invokes  the  Solaris  Install	program. Depending on graphical capability and available memory at the time of invocation,
       install-solaris invokes either a text-based installer or a graphical installer.

       The following minimum requirements for physical memory dictate which features are available during installation:

       For SPARC machines:

       128 MB

	   Minimum physical memory for all installation types

       128 MB

	   Minimum physical memory required for windowing system

       384 MB

	   Minimum physical memory required for graphical-based installation

       256 MB

	   Minimum physical memory required for windowing system

       512 MB

       In some cases, even if the minimum physical memory is present, available virtual memory after system startup can limit the number  of  fea-
       tures available.
