Network
Installation
Management
(NIM)
Server
A
client
system
connected
to
a
network
with
a
Network
Installation
Management
(NIM)
server
can
boot
standalone
diagnostics
from
the
NIM
server
if
the
client-specific
settings
on
both
the
NIM
server
and
client
are
correct.
Notes:
1.
All
operations
to
configure
the
NIM
server
require
root
user
authority.
2.

you
replace
the
network
adapter
in
the

settings
for
the

must
be
updated

This
allows
the
system
to
boot
in
standalone
diagnostics
from
the

server
if
there
is
a
problem
booting
from
the
disk
drive.
