Use this option to specify that a NIM "shared_root" resource be created for the AIX diskless nodes. The default is to create a NIM "root" resource. This feature is only available when using AIX version 6.1.4 or beyond. See the AIX/NIM documentation for a description of the "root" and "shared_root" resources.

7) Create a new diskless image by copying an existing image.
7) Create a diskless image called "614dskls" that includes a NIM "shared_root" resource. Use the existing NIM lpp_resource called "614_lpp_source". Also specify verbose output.

8) Create a diskless image using an existing lpp_source resource named 61cosi_lpp_source and include NIM /tmp & /home resources. This assumes that the "mytmp" and "myhome" NIM resources have already been created by using NIM commands.
