An AutoClient system is nearly identical to a diskless client in terms of installation and administration. It has the following characteristics:
Requires a minimum of a 100-Mbyte 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 a server to access 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 Release Notes for licensing information.
