AIX Runtime Expert concepts

You must have basic knowledge of AIX® Runtime Expert before you start using it.

AIX Runtime Expert base capabilities support configuration profile management and application for a single AIX system. To enable multiple system scalable consumption for a single profile, an LDAP based profile description can be discovered and consumed by AIX systems as they start or as the system is directed by administrative operations at the target AIX endpoints. Remote management for AIX Runtime Expert can only be done with the Network Install Manager (NIM) component. Using existing NIM functions, you can run AIX Runtime Expert remotely on several stand-alone NIM clients from a NIM master machine.
