Types of Workgroup

For the purposes of this document, a workgroup is group of interdependent, predominantly HP-UX systems, but may also include some Windows NT systems,

The HP-UX systems may or may not have their own root file systems. See “NFS Diskless”, “Multiuser” and “Client-Server”.

NFS Diskless

Refers to workgroups, or portions of workgroups, that get the root of their HP-UX file system from a remote server.




	NOTE: NFS Diskless is supported on HP-UX 10.20. It is not supported on HP-UX 10.30 or later.

While not ignoring such arrangements, this release of Managing Systems and Workgroups: A Guide for HP-UX System Administrators pays more attention to systems capable of booting from their own local disks (see “Client-Server”).

For more information see:

Multiuser

A large (e.g., HP-UX V Class) system to which users log in via terminals or terminal-emulators. These days, such systems often form part of a workgroup in which at least some users have their own desktop computers.
