You don't need a nim server... If you have set TSM up correctly it will have a spot to start the download. Just set your service menu to point at the TSM server at bootup...( it acts as a NIM server) Sorry I don't have my notes right here with me... As I recall the TSM server will respond to the bootup from the client and allow you to pick from the backups available to the client address you have configured in your service menu.
Hope I'm being clear...

HI Steve, Thx for the response.. But I have one small query.. If I m taking the system backup on tape library using TSM for sysback then at the time of recovery, it requires a NIM server or without that also we can recover.

Not only can you create backups and boot and restore from standalone media, but it also integrates with your NIM server. And if THAT's not enough for a posting on a TSM listserv, you can send your sysback backups to TSM to store, and restore from there, too. When you boot to restore (either from your sysback-enabled NIM server or your standalone floppy/DVD/tape), you are presented with a menu that not only allows you to Just Restore your system (again either from TSM, standalone media, or NIM), but also lets you make changes to the LVM structure when you do. Dunno why more AIX shops don't use it; it's been a hit wherever I've seen it.
