SETUP_CLIENT(8)         COMMAND REFERENCE         SETUP_CLIENT(8)



NAME
     setup_client - add or remove a diskless client to/from a
     server

SYNOPSIS
     setup_client op clientname yptype swapsize rootpath swappath
     dumppath homepath

DESCRIPTION
     This script will install or remove the diskless client's
     environment on the server.  Work done for installation
     includes making necessary directories, updating
     configuration files, and creating the client's swap file
     space on the server.  These items are removed if the client
     is being deleted.

Arguments
     All arguments are required.

     op   Operation type and is either add or remove.

     clientname
          Hostname of the client being added or removed.

     yptype
          Yellow pages mode of operation for the client, and is
          one of master, slave, client, or none. The default is
          none.

     swapsize
          Size of the swap file to make for this client.  This
          value is specified in bytes by default, or the letters
          M (x 1048576), K (x 1024), or B (x 512) may be appended
          to the value to multiply by the value given.  The
          default is 20M.

     rootpath, swappath, dumppath
          Full pathnames to be used for each of these functions
          (client root filesystem, swap file for client, and file
          to use for crash dumps).  none may be specified for
          dumppath. In this case, the client kernel will use
          swappath when generating crash dumps.  rootpath and
          swappath may also be specified as none for the remove
          operation.  Any pathname so entered will not be removed
          during the operation.

     homepath
          Location of user home directories and is typically
          none. If another server is providing this service, then
          the path may have the servername and colon prepended,
          as in servername:/home.
