RTE Installation
Run Time Environment Install (RTE) install of a NIM client system using the manual initiation method. It can be used to install AIX on a system where AIX is not currently installed. Default is to install the contents of the BOS.autoi bundle; the user can specify additional bundles or file sets to be installed.
Required Steps:
1) Define a client on NIM Master.
2) Prepare NIM Master to supply RTE install resources to a client system
3) Initiate a manual install from NIM client
Requires a minimum set of resources:
lpp_source
spot
1) Define a client on NIM Master.
Make the entry of the client IP and hostname on the /etc/hosts file of the NIM server
# cat /etc/hosts
10.135.0.173 PACS_CDR_KOLKATA_HA
(IP Address) (Machine Name)
Define the machine.
# smit nim
PACS_CDR_KOLKATA_HA:
class = machines
type = standalone
connect = shell
platform = chrp
netboot_kernel = mp
if1 = PACS_NIM PACS_CDR_KOLKATA_HA 0
cable_type1 = tp
Cstate = BOS installation has been enabled
prev_state = ready for a NIM operation
Mstate = not running
boot = boot
mksysb = PACS_CDR_KOLKATA_HA_mksysb
nim_script = nim_script
spot = PACS_CDR_KOLKATA_HA_SPOT
control = master
Client Machine is ready for installation on the NIM Server
2. Prepare NIM Master to supply RTE install resources to a client system
#smit nim_bosinst
Select a TARGET for the operationÃ
PACS_CDR_KOLKATA_HA machines standalone
Select the installation TYPE Ã
rte- Install from installation images
mksysb - Install from a mksysb
spot- Install a copy of SPOT resource
Select rte –Install from Installation images
The lpp_source to use for the installation
PACS_CDR_KOLKATA_HA_LPPSOURCE resources lpp_source
The SPOT to use for the installation
PACS_CDR_KOLKATA_HA_SPOT resources spot
Select the MKSYSB to use for the installation
PACS_CDR_KOLKATA_HA_mksysb resources mksysb
# lsnim -l PACS_CDR_KOLKATA_HA
PACS_CDR_KOLKATA_HA:
class = machines
type = standalone
connect = shell
platform = chrp
netboot_kernel = mp
if1 = PACS_NIM PACS_CDR_KOLKATA_HA 0
cable_type1 = tp
Cstate = BOS installation has been enabled
prev_state = ready for a NIM operation
Mstate = not running
boot = boot
mksysb = PACS_CDR_KOLKATA_HA_mksysb
nim_script = nim_script
spot = PACS_CDR_KOLKATA_HA_SPOT
control = master
# cat /etc/bootptab | grep -i tftpboot
PACS_CDR_KOLKATA_HA:bf=/tftpboot/PACS_CDR_KOLKATA_HA:ip=10.135.0.173:ht=ethernet:sa=10.135.0.178:sm=255.255.255.0:
Client Machine is ready for installation on the NIM Server
3. Initiate a manual install from NIM client
Starting the Installation on client:
Take the console of the machine through HMC
Start the client LPAR on SMS mode
Select --- 2. Setup Remote IPL (Initial Program Load)
Select --- NIC Adapters ( e.g 2. Port 1 - IBM 4 PORT PCIe 10/10 U78C0.001.DBJP321-P2-C1-T1 e41f13fafcf1 )
Select Internet Protocol Version. 1. IPv4 - Address Format 123.231.111.222
Select Network Service. 1. BOOTP
Set Network parameters IP Parameters
Ping Success – Means nim server is accessible from the client, hence cable and lan is correct.
if Ping Success Start the machine from network boot
Select Boot Options
Multiboot -- 1. Select Install/Boot Device
Select Device Type --> 6. Network
Select Network Service. --> 1. BOOTP
Select Device --> DBJP321-P2-C1-T1
Select Task --> 2. Normal Mode Boot
BOOTING----------->>>>>>>>>>>>
You can change the disk selections form the above 2nd options -- 2 Change/Show Installation Settings and Install
1 Disk(s) where you want to install ...... hdisk1 - Note if mksysb image is taken from un mirrored root vg, else we have to select 2 disks
Select the disk
>>> 1 hdisk0 08-00-00 286102 none Yes No
>>> 2 hdisk1 09-00-00 286102 none Yes No
Select --> >>> 0 Install with the settings listed above.
Installation Running, check the same on Server
