Defines the maximum number of virtual adapters.
Identifies the number of virtual adapters
Lets you add, delete and modify the virtual serial adapters.
Lets you add, delete and modify the virtual ethernet adapters.
Lets you add, delete and modify the virtual SCSI adapters.
Defines the computer where you set up and maintain your NIM environment. The NIM environment is a logical group of computers. Multiple NIM environments can be on the same TCP/IP network, but there can only be one active NIM master per environment.
Defines the name of the target computer for NIM installations and update operations. Provisions a client computer and images it with an AIX operating system.
Specifies the resource type for assigning resources to a NIM client.
Defines a logical grouping of resources used for assigning resources to a NIM client more quickly than an individual association.
Defines the resource name used to create image.
Defines a file that contains information for the Base Operating System (BOS) installation program.
Defines the licensed program product files to use for an imaging request.
Defines the shared product object tree to use for an imaging request.
Defines a file that contains valid /etc/resolv.conf entries that define Domain Name Protocol name-server information for local resolver routines.
Defines the name of the file to use to configure devices. The script is used when a NIM client is booting for the first time after the BOS installation process finishes.
Defines a comma-separated list of scripts to run post installation.
Identifies the name of the host computer.
Defines the root user used for agent deployment.
Defines the root user password used for agent deployment.
Defines the domain manager.
