Assume that you have three hosts named eel, yak, and shark. You want to centralize device management on host shark and also permit each host to manage its own devices.
The following example scenerio applies:
The file on shark contains the following:
SERVER = shark
The file on shark does not require any additional entries, because all device management for shark are performed from shark.
The file on eel contains the following, which lets eel manage its own devices and permits shark to access them:
SERVER = eel SERVER = shark
The vm.conf file on yak contains the following, which lets yak manage its own devices and permits shark to access them:
SERVER = yak SERVER = shark
