These are the required steps to use NIM in your disaster recovery procedure.
Create Mksysb Image
- Check network and DNS requirements for your host / network
- Host needs A and PTR records
- Check storage NIM server
- The NIM server needs at least the amount of space of the rootvg of the host
- Create nim client
- Create the image
Restore Mksysb Image
- Restore the image
Test Restore Mksysb Image
These are the steps for a test, so you create an entire new client for testing purposes. In this case we restore to a LPAR in an IVM. Before starting, determine a host name and IP address what can be used.
- Create required boot lun
- Detect lun inside VIOS/IVM
- Create LPAR
- Create DNS records
- Create A and PTR records
