Hello nobody,
the official way would be to define two installp_bundles, one for rpms
and one for lpps. This is described in "CSM for AIX 5L V1.3.2.1 Planning
and Installation Guide" on page 73
http://publib.boulder.ibm.com/clresc...sterbooks.html
Unfortunately this does not worked for me at the moment (root part of
openssh installation fails before first reboot). The solution we use, is
to install the rpms and openssh.lpp in the firstboot.cust script and add
this script to our NIM installation routine.
