ok... but why on the power vm best practices says when you are going to restore a vios from NIM: 
 
nim -o define -t mksysb \ 
-a server=master \ 
-a location=/export/vios_backup/vios22.mksysb vios22_mksysb 
# nim -o define -t spot \ 
-a server=master \ 
-a location=/export/vios_backup/spot \ 
-a source=vios22_mksysb vios22_spot 
# nim -o bos_inst \ 
-a source=mksysb \ 
-a mksysb=vios22_mksysb \ 
-a spot=vios22_spot \ 
-a installp_flags=-agX \ 
-a no_nim_client=yes \ 
-a boot_client=no \ 
-a accept_licenses=yes vios22 
 
Is it for to not change the SEA? Or network &nbsp;parameters? Also, what means &quot;-a boot_client=no&quot;?

wmp, 
 
What's the meaning of this parameter no_nim_client? 
 
I know it's by default = NO, but some BOSINST like VIOservers you have to set to = YES. 
What exactly does it do. once you reboot the first time the installed AIX?

Unix is a multitasking, multi-user computer operating system originally developed in 1969 at Bell Labs. Today, it is a modern OS with many commercial flavors and licensees, including FreeBSD, Hewlett-Packard’s UX, IBM AIX and Apple Mac OS-X. Apart from its command-line interface, most UNIX variations support the standardized X Window System for GUIs, with the exception of the Mac OS, which uses a proprietary system.
