-m mksysb_resource | Specifies an alternate backup image to restore during BOS install. The value for mksysb_resource may specify a NIM object name or absolute path location used for defining a new mksysb resource. By default, the mksysb resource is assigned from the basic_res_grp NIM resource group. |
-n | Enables native (rte) install and ignores restoring backup image (mksysb) during BOS install. By default, mksysb restore is performed during BOS install. |
-c | Defines client objects from the client.defs file. The /export/nim/client.defs file must exist and have valid client definition information. The client.defs file is created during nim_master_setup command execution. If the file is not present, a sample client.defs file may be copied from /usr/samples/nim/client.defs and edited by the user. |
-r | Reboots client objects after initiating BOS install operation. By default, clients are not rebooted. Resources are assigned for install and clients may be rebooted when desired. |
-v | Enables verbose debug output during command execution. |
Access Control: You must have root authority to run the nim_clients_setup command.
