 When creating a mksysb image definition you must specify either the "-n" or the "-b" option. The "-n" option can be used to create a mksysb image from an existing NIM client machine.  The "-b" option can be used to specify an existing mksysb backup file.
 
-When creating a diskless osimage definition you also have the option of automatically updating the NIM SPOT resource.  You can have additional software installed or you can have configuration files added or updated.  To have software installed you must provide either the names of NIM installp_bundle resources or fileset names on the command line using the "attr=val" option. You may also supply the installp flags to use when installing the software.

 To have configuration files updated you must provide the full path name of a "synclists" file which contains the the list of actual files to update.  The xCAT osimage definition that is created will contain the installp_bundle, otherpkgs, and synclists files that are provided on the command line.
