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.
