    If we place all needed ifixes to /nim/set1701_lpp_aix_720102/emgr/ppc, all LPPs to /nim/set1701_lpp_aix_720102/installp/ppc (exactly the structure from our NIMs) the command: geninstall -k -Y -d /nim/set1701_lpp_aix_720102/ all runs fine, and it p...

    A way to have AIX point to a "VIP" so that each LPAR can follow the trusted LDAP certificate chain instead of having to update the cert on each LPAR every year.

    The team who is responsible for attaining the new certs can place them in a location that AIX can then point to. It's a better process by eliminating potential points of failure (human error) to have 1 person update the certificates in 1 location ...
