You may want to add a comment such as the following at the top of the
file:
###########################################################
# Do not edit this file!
# Serviceguard uses this file only to authorize access to an
# unconfigured node. Once the node is configured,
# Serviceguard will not consult this file.

The format for entries in cmclnodelist is as follows:
[hostname] [user] [#Comment]
For example:
gryf root #cluster1, node1
sly root #cluster1, node2
bit root #cluster1, node3
This example grants root access to the node on which this cmclnodelist
file resides to root users on the nodes gryf, sly, and bit.
Serviceguard also accepts the use of a “+” in the cmclnodelist file; this
indicates that the root user on any Serviceguard node can configure
Serviceguard on this node.
IMPORTANT If $SGCONF/cmclnodelist does not exist, Serviceguard will look at
~/.rhosts. HP strongly recommends that you use cmclnodelist.
NOTE When you upgrade a cluster from Version A.11.15 or earlier, entries in
$SGCONF/cmclnodelist are automatically updated to Access Control
Policies in the cluster configuration file. All non-root user-hostname
pairs are assigned the role of Monitor.
