A '''diskless shared-root cluster''' is a way to manage several machines at the same time. Instead of each having its own [[operating system]] (OS) on its local disk, there is only one image of the OS available on a server, and all the nodes use the same image. (SSI cluster = [[single-system image]])

Line 11 ⟶ 12:

A similar technology can be found in [[VMScluster]] ([[OpenVMS]]) and [[TruCluster]] ([[Tru64 UNIX]]).

The [[open-source license|open-source]] implementation of a diskless shared-root cluster is known as [[Open-Sharedroot]].
