An
Exclude file is a list of files which are defined in a flat text file (/etc/exclude.rootvg for the mksysb) that you
do not which to be included within the mksysb image (e.g. temporary files, files not required perhaps in user home directories).
To extend the /tmp directory (not sure you want to do this each time you take a mksysb...) use the 'chfs -a size=10M /tmp' for example to increase the /tmp fs by 10MB
The
resource_name is a generic label for this example, you would make your own label for the resource type you are creating. I label my mksysb resources hostname_yyyymmdd_mksysb.
The command I outlined above creates the mksysb image and puts it in the location '/path_to_image_location/filename.mksysb'
It is worth getting hold of a NIM administration manual (IBM Redbook) to help you out with understanding this.
