Rolename Option

Introduced in release: 8.0

The  option specifies the name of the role this host fulfills in the deployment (e.g., backend-store, frontend-mta, relay). This option is used as a transition option when migrating to a Unified Configuration. It may also be used briefly when adding a new system to an existing deployment via the Deployment Map server. In that setting, the Deployment Map client briefly runs, registering the node with the server and reporting as its role, the string value set with this  option.
