9.2.6.2 Defining the Shared Product Object Tree (SPOT)
Resource Object
The SPOT resource is required for bos_inst operations for stand-alone machine
configurations. This resource type represents a SPOT, which is a directory
containing the BOS run-time files and optional packages required for most NIM
operations.
The machine serving the SPOT resource must have the bos.sysmgt.nim.spot fileset
installed.
To define the SPOT resource object, proceed as follows:
1. Ensure the /export filesystem is mounted.
2. Create the /export/exec directory.
3. Enter the following fast path command:
smitty nim_mkres
4. Select the spot resource object type.
5. Enter the resource-specific information as required.
