Assuming you have followed the documentation to setup you xCAT Management Node http://sourceforge.net/apps/mediawiki/xcat/index.php?title=XCAT_AIX_Cluster_Overview_and_Mgmt_Node
We recommend you follow this documentation for setting up xCAt to install your AIX nodes. http://sourceforge.net/apps/mediawiki/xcat/index.php?title=XCAT_AIX_RTE_Diskfull_Nodes Then you can upgrade you nodes using this process http://sourceforge.net/apps/mediawiki/xcat/index.php?title=Updating_AIX_Software_on_xCAT_Nodes check out section 5 http://sourceforge.net/apps/mediawiki/xcat/index.php?title=Updating_AIX_Software_on_xCAT_Nodes#Updating_software_on_AIX_standalone_.28diskfull.29_nodes Our documentation link is here: http://sourceforge.net/apps/mediawiki/xcat/index.php?title=XCAT_Documentation Lissa K. Valletta 2-3/T12 Poughkeepsie, NY 12601 (tie 293) 433-3102 From: Francois Bissey <francois.bis...@canterbury.ac.nz> To: xcat-user@lists.sourceforge.net Date: 04/22/2012 11:58 PM Subject: [xcat-user] update aix client to a new service pack/technology level with xcat Hi, I need to update some of the aix node of my cluster to another technology level. IBM doesn't provide any instructions I can find on how to do this in xcat. I have instructions for nim that I can follow, however 1) I got an error using a pure nim command 2) I would imagine that the nim image should be updated/recreated using mknimimage so xcat is fully aware of the changes going on. With nim I would customize an existing image using "nim -o cust..." what would be the equivalent xcat command? I have 2 restrictions: 1) I need to use IBM bff file rather than new media 2) my nodes are diskfull, so I will need to to reinstall anyway and according to the documentation mknimage -u is not useful.
