Using a shared_home resource

A shared_home resource represents a directory that can be used as a common /home directory by one or more clients

When a shared_home resource is allocated to a client, and when the dkls_init or dtls_init operation is performed, NIM configures the client's configuration to use this common directory. After initialization, anytime the client performs a network boot, the client NFS mounts this common directory over its /home directory. This common directory remains mounted as long as the client is running.

Note: Whenever this resource is deallocated, NIM changes only the client's configuration, so the client no longer uses this directory. NIM does not remove the common directory.
