DESCRIPTION
The admclient command is run on the server machine to manage client
machines that are served by the server. A client is any machine
which gets operating system software from another machine. Disk
areas are set aside on the server for use by the clients and
configuration files within those areas are initialized for correct
use by the clients. Database entries are made on the server to keep
track of the state and configuration of each client.
Operations
add Add an OS client to a release area on the server by
creating the client's directory structure, client database
table entries, and updating files accessible to the client.
A client may be added to more than one release. The client
must be added to the hosts database (using admhost(1M)) and
the ethers database (using admether(1M)) before being added
as a client.
delete Remove an OS client from a release area on the server by
updating the server's database and optionally removing the
disk areas allocated for the client.
list Display information about all or selected OS clients.
modify Change the bootstrap file used for an OS client.
set Change the release area in which an OS client will boot.
The release area name can be specified as ``-none-'' to
keep a client from booting from any release area.
Options
-b bootstrap
The pathname of the bootstrap file. The default bootstrap
file is /usr/stand/boot.aviion.
-h homedirectory
The directory in which users' home directories will be
placed. If not the special value ``none'', the directory

will be created on the server and exported to the client.
-k kernel The pathname of the kernel file. The default kernel file
for the PRIMARY release area is
/srv/release/PRIMARY/root/Kernels/dgux.diskless.
-p Preserve the client's root directory structure when
deleting a client.
-q Quiet. Omit header lines from the output of the list
operation.
-r release
The name of the release area. Clients may be associated
with more than one release area; this identifies which
instance of the client that is to be affected.
-s swapsize
The size of the swap area to create for the client. The
default value is 16m.
-S server The name of the server machine as known to the client.
This defaults to the default host name as returned by the
hostname(1) command.
-v Verbose. Include header lines in the output of the list
operation. This option is enabled by default.
OUTPUT
If a particular client name or list of client names is provided to
the list operation, the output includes the following: client host
name, release area name, root directory, swap file, swap size, boot
file, and kernel file.
If no hostnames or the keyword ``all'' is specified, the output
includes each client name and release area. Unless the -q option is
used, header line is produced.
FILES
/srv/release/PRIMARY/root/_Kernels/dgux.diskless
The default kernel file.
/usr/stand/boot.aviion The default bootstrap file.
/home The default for the home directory
pathname.
/tftpboot Directory containing bootstrap file
links for each client.
