PURPOSE
Stores information about TCF cluster sites.
DESCRIPTION
The file /etc/site is used primarily by the Transparent Computing Facility and
contains information about each machine in the TCF cluster. If TCF is not
installed, the site file has one entry for the local machine. This entry
contains the name of the machine as entered during the installation of the AIX
Operating System (this name is returned by the uname command with the -n flag
and in nodename by the uname system call.
The site file is an ASCII file with one entry per line; each entry contains
position-dependent fields in the following format:
sitenum:sitenam:locnam:cputype:comment:fullnam:speed
If TCF is not installed, sitenam is obtained during installation of the
Operating System; the other fields assume default values. The fields are:
sitenum Site number of the cluster site.
sitenam One-word name of the cluster site.
locnam Name of the cluster site's local file system.
cputype CPU type of the cluster site, for instance, i386, i370, or xa370.
comment Any information pertinent to the cluster site. For example, this
field may contain CPU model numbers or configuration.
fullnam Full descriptive name of the cluster site.
speed Relative speed of the CPU of the cluster site. Its value is
meaningful only in relation to the entries for other cluster sites.
The site file access routines (see "sfent, sfnum, sfname, sfctype, sfxcode,
setsf, endsf") should be used to access this file.
