The "-n" option can be used to create a mksysb image from an existing NIM client machine. When creating an osimage definition you will have to specify the corresponding SPOT resource and any additional resources you need by using the "attr=val" option. You can also create the mksysb image manually using the "mksysb" command and then use the image as a source when creating the osimage definition.
