AutoClient Systems

For detailed information about AutoClient systems and how to administer them, see the AutoClient 2.1 Administration Guide. An AutoClient system is nearly identical to a diskless client in terms of installation and administration. It has the following characteristics:

• Requires a 100-Mbyte or larger local disk for swapping and for caching its individual root (/) file system and the /usr file system from a server

• Can be set up so that it can continue to access its cache when the server is unavailable

• Relies on servers to provide other file systems and software applications

• Contains no permanent data, making it a field replaceable unit (FRU)

You must obtain a license for each AutoClient system you want to add to your network. See the Solstice AdminSuite 2.3 Installation and Product Notes for licensing information.
