Adding a fileset to a SPOT

For example, if you wish to add the bos.alt_disk_install.rte fileset to a SPOT:

List the available spots:

# lsnim -t spot | grep 61
SPOTaix61tl05sp03     resources       spot
SPOTaix61tl03sp07     resources       spot

List the available lpp sources:

# lsnim -t lpp_source | grep 61
LPPaix61tl05sp03       resources       lpp_source
LPPaix61tl03sp07       resources       lpp_source

Check if the SPOT already has this file set:

# nim -o showres SPOTaix61tl05sp03 | grep -i bos.alt

No output is shown. The fileset is not part of the SPOT. Check if the LPP Source has the file set:

# nim -o showres LPPaix61tl05sp03 | grep -i bos.alt
  bos.alt_disk_install.boot_images 6.1.5.2                    I  N usr
  bos.alt_disk_install.rte    6.1.5.1                    I  N usr,root

Install the first fileset (bos.alt_disk_install.boot_images) in the SPOT. The other fileset is a prerequisite of the first fileset and will be automatically installed as well.

# nim -o cust -a filesets=bos.alt_disk_install.boot_images
-a lpp_source=LPPaix61tl05sp03 SPOTaix61tl05sp03

Note: Use the -F option to force a fileset into the SPOT, if needed (e.g. when the SPOT is in use for a client). 

Check if the SPOT now has the fileset installed:

# nim -o showres SPOTaix61tl05sp03 | grep -i bos.alt
  bos.alt_disk_install.boot_images
  bos.alt_disk_install.rte 6.1.5.1 C F Alternate Disk Installation
