  • 1.  AIX Install Via NFS?

    Can AIX be installed via NFS? If so, a pointer to a "how to" document would be very appreciated. We have a strong understanding of using NFS to install RHEL and SLES and now have a request to install an AIX partition in our pSeries server and would prefer to use similar procedures for this and possibly future installations of AIX.

    Our specific questions would be:
    1.) What is the boot file to serve?
    2.) How should the installation source directories be structired?

    You need to look into having nimol.

    the concept of booting linux box using pxe boot and tftpboot on RS6000 is similar.
