Add Diskless Clients

1. On the workstation that is going to be the OS server, log on as a user who can assume the admin role.

2. As role admin at label admin_low, open the Host Manager with the NIS+ Naming Service.

1. Add each diskless client as an entry in the Host Manager.

   If the client exists already, delete it and re-create it. A diskfull client cannot be converted to diskless.
