Network Installation Manager (NIM) is a system management framework on the IBM AIX operating system that installs and manages systems over a network.[1][2] NIM is analogous to Kickstart in the Linux world.[3] NIM is a client-server system in which a NIM server provides a boot image to client systems via the BOOTP and TFTP protocols.[4]
