    Hello,

    Is it possible to install up-to-date vios in one NIM operation ?
    For example I have vios v2.1 DVD and current vios version is v2.2.1.3(we update to fixpack v2.2.1.1_FP25 and apply service pack 2.2.1.3-FP25-SP01)

    I know it's possible if we install AIX using NIM - we just update lpp_source to the latest TL and create spot from it - result up to date AIX in one NIM operation.

    Cite from vios update readme:
    NIM users can update by creating a single, merged lpp_source that combines the contents of the Migration DVD with the contents of this Update Release 2.2.1.1 and the Service Release 2.2.1.3.

    How do I update/merge vios lpp_source ?

    thanks
