    I am new to AIX world,   just looking high level sequence of steps to create a new lpar and load AIX using NIM.  We have a session on provisional tool kit for automation , I just want to understand manual steps before learn the tool kit.

    Thank you very much

    Hello Nag,

    I suggest you to read the redbook about NIM, I believe that the whole process will be very detailed.

    Hello!

    Hopefully these 2 pages give you some quick overview on the topic:
    Both are for earlier AIX versions, but still 100% valid nowadays :)

    Hi Nag,

    If you're new to AIX, I would highly recommend that you join the AIX Power Users Group.  Send an email to Joe in order to get added to the distribution list.

    Here is a link to some of the past webinars.  There are a couple old sessions for NIM that may be helpful for you.
