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...

Re: [ADSM-L] TSM for SYS-back & Recovery!!
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.
Thanks,
Sachin

Sysback works great and is cheap, too! 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.
