Using System Clone to Deploy Diskful Node
=========================================
.. note:: This feature has been deprecated
When we want to deploy large numbers of nodes which have the same configuration, the simplest way is to clone. This means the user can customize and tweak one node's configuration according to his needs. They can verify it's proper operation, then make this node as template. They can capture an osimage from this template node, and deploy the rest of the nodes with this osimage quickly. xCat (2.8.2 and above) provides this feature which we call Sysclone to help you handle this scenario.

.. note:: **RedHat:** Running ``nodeset`` will generate the ``/install/autoinst`` file for the node. It will replace the ``#XCAT_PARTITION_START#`` and ``#XCAT_PARTITION_END#`` directives with the contents of your custom partition file.
.. note:: **SLES:** Running ``nodeset`` will generate the ``/install/autoinst`` file for the node. It will replace the ``#XCAT-PARTITION-START#`` and ``#XCAT-PARTITION-END#`` directives with the contents of your custom partition file. Do not include ``<partitioning config:type="list">`` and ``</partitioning>`` tags, they will be added by xCAT.
.. note:: **Ubuntu:** Running ``nodeset`` will generate the ``/install/autoinst`` file for the node. It will write the partition file to ``/tmp/partitionfile`` and replace the ``#XCA_PARTMAN_RECIPE_SCRIPT#`` directive in ``/install/autoinst/<node>.pre`` with the contents of your custom partition file.
