AW: Size of lppsource for NIM

Creating hard links works and saves a lot of disk space. I don't have a skript for it but I noted down the following commands when doing it.

regards,
Christian


# mkdir -p /export/AIX_FILESETS/520_BASE
# bffcreate -d '/dev/cd0' -f'all' \
-t'/export/AIX_FILESETS/520_BASE'
# cd /export/AIX_FILESETS/520_BASE/installp/ppc
# rm .toc
# find . -type f -exec chmod a+r {} \;
# mkdir -p /export/lpp_source/aix52/installp/ppc
# find . -type f -exec ln {} /export/lpp_source/aix52/installp/ppc \;
# cd /export/lpp_source/aix52/installp/ppc
# inutoc .
# cd /export/AIX_FILESETS/520_BASE/RPMS/ppc
# mkdir -p /export/lpp_source/aix52/RPMS/ppc
# find . -type f -exec ln {} /export/lpp_source/aix52/RPMS/ppc \;
# mkdir -p /export/AIX_FILESETS/520_PTFS
# bffcreate -d '/dev/cd0' -f 'all' \
-t'/export/AIX_FILESETS/520_PTFS'

When building a NIM server to serve multiple
versions & maintenance levels
of AIX, it seems to me that creating hard links for
the filesets that have
not changed makes more sense than to create a
completely seperate tree.

Does this make sense? Does anyone have a quick
script for accomplishing
this task? Any other suggestions?

It's not what I know that counts.
It's what I can remember in time to use.


Matt,

Interesting idea you are proposing, however, remember
that the SPOT and lppsource are both exported via NFS,
I am not sure a symbolic or hard link will work ....

would it ?? you bet I'm testing it.

regards,
Enrique.
