Install NIM Adapter on AIX NIM Server

You can install the NIM adapter using the graphical interface or a command line text console.

To install the NIM adapter

1. Insert the installation media into the computer, navigate to the DVD2\Installers\AIX_aix\NIM directory and copy ca-nim-adapter.AIX to the AIX NIM server.
2. Enter the following command on the AIX NIM server:

   ./ca-nim-adapter.AIX
   

   If X-windows and DISPLAY are configured on the computer where the AIX UNIX terminal is open, a graphical interface installer is launched. Otherwise, a command line interface installer is launched.

3. Press Next.

   The License Agreement appears.

4. Read the License Agreement and select I agree.

   The Installation directory option appears.

5. Specify the directory where you want to install, and click Next.
6. Review the installation path, and click Install Product.

   Post-installation instructions appear.

7. Click OK to exit the installer.

Note: The script file install_path/imaging/etc/ca_post_install.sh must be updated to configure CA Server Automation to work with NIM. The hash password must match the hash password on the target AIX computers. Read and update the ca_post_install.sh script, which contains instructions on setting the appropriate options.
