I want to install 2 filesets via NIM, but I didn't use NIM before, so I am not sure whether the following steps are right and complete, is anyone can help me? Thanks.

1. copy the files (bos.adt.prof.5.2.0.96.bff, bos.rte.libc.5.2.0.96.bff) to the lpp_source directory;
2. master# nim -Fo check lpp_source520
3. preview install:
master# nim -o cust -a lpp_source520 -l filesets=\
"bos.adt.prof.5.2.0.96.bff bos.rte.libc.5.2.0.96.bff" \
-a install_flags="a c g X p" client1
4. install:
master# nim -o cust -a lpp_source520 -l filesets=\
"bos.adt.prof.5.2.0.96.bff bos.rte.libc.5.2.0.96.bff" \
-a install_flags="a c g X" client1
5. install spot:
master# nim -o cust -a lpp_source520 -l filesets=\
"bos.adt.prof.5.2.0.96.bff bos.rte.libc.5.2.0.96.bff" \
-a install_flags="a c g X" spot

Can I do all steps at master, just ensuring the master can ping client1?

This looks good, except one thing... yes you can do all of these steps at the master. You will need to create the client... that can be done on the client or on the Master.

Thanks.
Another question, if I want to install many files (for example, 100 files) in one time, how can I do? I think it is impossible to list all files in the command like below:
'nim -o cust -a lpp_source520 -l filesets="file1 file2 ..." ....

Except if you need to do this only in command line or scripts, maybe the best way to install a lot of files is through smit, selecting each file singly.
