The simple way to configure a VIOS to be a NIM client is to use the padmin command: remote_management.
Have your nim system configured for internet, and stable, as the two arguments you provide are the interface and the master name.
Or, you can switch to root using oem_setup_env
and fill in the dialog to # smitty nim
Just remember to use the secure communication aka nimsh
Once the VIOS is a nim client you can perform a mksysb backup just like any other nim client.
Note: you do not update it as a normal AIX client.
