    The "Installing AIX" AIX 5L Version 5.3 book makes them sound similar. Which of them is really required for installing an LPAR? Can someone define them in "the new guy" terms?

    My former co-worker has documentation that shows how to install an LPAR using a lpp_source, SPOT, and mksysb all served up from NIM. Is there a benefit to that way compared to other combinations of resources?

    "To start a machine installation, only two resources are mandatory: the LPP
    source (lpp_source), and the Shared Product Object Tree (SPOT)." Just read the Redbook, NIM from A to Z for AIX 5L. It explains everything.
