corresponding .sh script. The .sh script runs a series of lmc (Lustre make
config) commands in order to build up an XML file. It is much easier to
simply edit a .sh script and rebuild your XML config file than trying to
-edit the XML directly. For example, the above configurations are:

For a loopback setup with a mounted filesystem, you could do something like:
system3# ../utils/lconf --node uml3 uml.xml
The "--node <name>" parameter tells lconf to use the configuration for
-the node "name" in the XML configuration file. The internals of lconf
-and portals handle the configuration details for setting up netowrking.

sh runtests [--reformat] <conf>.xml
This creates a few simple files and directories first, and then untars
