[xcat-user] genimage and osimage table

[Andrew V. S. <st...@al...>]

Hello.
Please help.

In SVN xCAT version there no conception "diskless".

But `genimage' source code has:
        $updates_os{'provmethod'} = 'netboot';
        $updates_os{'provmethod'} = 'statelite';


After genimage invokation I have TWO records at `osimage' table:

#imagename,profile,imagetype,provmethod,osname,osvers,osdistro,osarch,synclists,comments,disable
"alt-x86_64-netboot-compute","compute","linux","netboot","Linux","alt","alt","x86_64",,,
"alt-x86_64-statelite-compute","compute","linux","statelite","Linux","alt","alt","x86_64",,,

What does difference between this two provisioning methods:
"netboot" and "statelite" ???
