Attribute scope across systems: global and local attributes

An attribute whose value applies to all systems is global in scope. An attribute whose value applies on a per-system basis is local in scope. The at operator (@) indicates the system to which a local value applies.

An example of local attributes can be found in the following resource type where IP addresses and routing options are assigned per machine.

    MultiNICA mnic (
    Device@sys1 = { eth0 = "166.98.16.103", eth1 = "166.98.16.103" 
    }
    Device@sys2 = { eth0 = "166.98.16.104", eth2 = "166.98.16.104" 
    }
    NetMask = "255.255.255.0"
    RouteOptions@sys1 = "-net 192.100.201.0 192.100.13.7"
    RouteOptions@sys2 = "-net 192.100.201.1 192.100.13.8"
    )
