Hi Rafa,
The mksysb resource for NIM installation is a big file with the data in backup format. The other NIM resources, image.data, bosinst.data, lppsource, spot resources have all the same importance but the bosinst.data has control flow and disk destination for the mksysb recovery. If you use NIM, the RECOVER_DEVICES=no and the target disks with null strings is a correct form to do this. If you have PROMPT = no, should install in any disk !!!
The next bosinst.data example for NIM mksysb recovery in other system that original:
control_flow:
CONSOLE = Default
INSTALL_METHOD = overwrite
PROMPT = yes (for disk destination prompt, you select PROMPT=yes)
EXISTING_SYSTEM_OVERWRITE = yes

RM_INST_ROOTS = no
ERROR_EXIT =
CUSTOMIZATION_FILE =

CREATE_JFS2_FS = Default
ALL_DEVICES_KERNELS = yes
GRAPHICS_BUNDLE = yes
MOZILLA_BUNDLE = no
KERBEROS_5_BUNDLE = no
SERVER_BUNDLE = no
REMOVE_JAVA_118 = no
HARDWARE_DUMP = yes
