10 Setting Up and Administering
an HP-UX NFS Diskless Cluster
IMPORTANT This section provides information on NFS Diskless, a technology
supported on HP-UX 10.0 through 10.20. If all your servers are running
10.30 or later, this information will not be of interest to you; we’ve
included it because we recognize that many workgroups are running
several different versions of HP-UX. See also “Compatibility Between
HP-UX Releases 10.x and 11.x” on page 448.
