how to make a spot

HI. there

My 10 servers are running on 6.1-05-03 aix including NIM server

but my user want to update a TL (61-05-03 to 61-06-04)

if I Update a AIx version of TL .. is that change the SPOT of NIM server..

OR if I make a spot of AIX7.1 and Is that support AIX 6.1 AIX 5.3 Images

I read a redbook.. NIM SPOT is supported sub version of aix ..

any idea?

I didn't follow everything you are trying to do completely but if you are just updating a TL level I don't believe your NIM Master has to be at or above that level. It is just serving up the lpp_source to the host being updated. However if you are going to be backing up that same host and hoping to restore it at some point then I believe this is where the spot usage comes into play you will need that NIM Master at or above the 6100-06-04 level.
