=head1 NAME

B<makeconservercf> - creates the conserver configuration file from info in the xCAT database

=head1 SYNOPSIS

B<makeconservercf> [B<-l|--local|-d|--delete>] [I<noderange>]

B<makeconservercf> [B<-h|--help|-v|--version>]


=head1 DESCRIPTION

The B<makeconservercf> command will write out the /etc/conserver.cf, using information from the nodehm table
and related tables (e.g. mp, ipmi, ppc).  Normally, B<makeconservercf> will write all nodes to the conserver.cf
file.  If a noderange is specified, it will write on those nodes to the file.  In either case, if a node
does not have nodehm.cons set, it will not be written to the file.

In the case of a hierarchical cluster (i.e. one with service nodes) B<makeconservercf> will determine
which nodes will have their consoles accessed from the management node and which from a service node
(based on the nodehm.conserver attribute).  The /etc/conserver.cf file will be created accordingly on
all relevant management/service nodes.  If -l is specified, it will only create the local file.
