- That is also my understanding. The /etc/clusterconf file specifies the
- server's LLA (link level address == station address, hence which LAN
- card serves the cluster). Also it specifies the LLA for each cnode, to
- validate incoming boot requests and tell each client its node name.
-
- Actually a client boots from its swap server system -- also specified
- in the clusterconf file -- not necessarily the root server, to ensure
- it doesn't boot before swap is available.
