I'd like to play the devil's advocate for just a second and ask why NIM and NFS 
don't work? We have an SP and I use a NFS mounted directory from my CWS (NIM 
sever) to perform MKSYSBs of the nodes and it works just great. If your using 
NIM then the MKSYSB files have to be on your NIM server anyway.

Hello,

any idea to send mksysb directly to tsm 5.1 (AIX)? I've heard adsmpipe is
not officialy supported, does anybody use named pipe to write their mksysb ?
If yes, how do you read back form the file ?

For now we use a NIM server and NFS, this is not optimum.

Thanks a lot,
