Firstly, define each LPAR within NIM.

Then once defined, you can run the following which will take a mysysb of the LPAR's, however, you will need to perform a backupiso for the VIO Server LPAR as a MKSYSB will not work.

nim -o define -t mksysb -aserver=master -alocation=/location/of/mksysb/nameofmksysb -amk_image=yes -asource=LPARNAME -acomments="LPARNAME mksysb" LPARNAME-mksysb

Replace LPARNAME with the lpar you defined within NIM.

HTH
