Setup and Maintenance

Use the information in this section for instructions and important information about how to set up the virtualization environment for AIX® NIM.

Before you begin the setup, you must activate the Management Extender Status analysis. To activate the analysis, navigate to the Domain Panel of the Server Automation domain and select Virtualization > Management Extender Analyses. In the Management Extender Analyses list, select Management Extender Status and click Activate.

To use the AIX® NIM tasks, you must activate the AIX NIM Overview analysis. To activate the analysis, in the Domain Panel of the Server Automation domain, select > Virtualization > AIX NIM > Setup and Configuration > Activate Analyses. Select AIX NIM Overview and click Activate. It is good practise to activate the analysis before you begin to work with the AIX® NIM tasks.
