Create empty nodeclass

We need to create nodeclasses before we have nodes available to assign to the node class.  This will allow us to set GPFS configuration for the nodeclass through our configuration management scripts and help ensure we have standardized configurations in all of our clusters.

    Thank you for opening this request. We were looking for more information on the use case to better understand what is needed. If you still need this enhancement, please open a new request with as much detail as possible on the use case

    Our development team is trying to to fully understand this request and use case. If you have a least one node (say a single node cluster) you create a noodeclass with that node, and then set configuration with mmchconfig for your settings and assign it to the nodeclass, then add nodes, you still need to then add those nodes into the nodeclass. After which, if you say start the daemon (mmstartup), it will pull that configuration locally to where the daemon is starting and provide it the config options you want. At some point you can remove the initial node from the nodeclass should you want.

    Question---> Would you be able to provided us a step by step use case of what the issue is, then step by step what you want it to be as a use case.
