remote_management command
Purpose
Enables the Virtual I/O Server to be remotely managed by an AIX® NIM (Network Installation Management) master.
Syntax
To enable the Virtual I/O Server to be remotely managed by an AIX NIM master:
remote_management [ -interface Interface ] Master
To disable remote management:
remote_management -disable
Description
The remote_management command will setup the Virtual I/O Server to allow remote management from a NIM master. The Master parameter specifies the NIM master hostname. The Interface parameter specifies the network interface to be used to connect to the NIM master. If Interface is not specified, the default network interface used will be en0.
The remote_management command utilizes the NIM service handler for client communication (nimsh), so the NIM master must be nimsh capable.
Once remote management has been enabled on the Virtual I/O Server, typical NIM functions, such as update, backup, and reinstall, can be initiated from the NIM master.
Flags
