Add Install Resource

Use this page to add an operating environment installation resource to the Hardware Management Console (HMC). You can choose to create a local installation resource or to define a remote installation resource for the Hardware Management Console (HMC).

When you create a local resource, you must copy the necessary files from existing operating environment installation media to the HMC. When you define a remote environment installation resource on a Network Installation Management (NIM) server for the HMC to access and use, the set of operating environment installation files for the defined installation resource must currently exist in a NIM resource group on the NIM server.
