NIM Provisioning Password Configuration

Bare metal provisioning of AIX operating systems is implemented using the IBM Network Installation Management technology (NIM). The root password with which target AIX machines are configured is defined as a hashed password in the ca_post_install.sh script that is installed with the CA Server Automation NIM Adapter. All AIX OS images must be configured to use the same root password.
