Server Management And Platform Software; Network Share Volume Structure - Sun Microsystems sun fire V20Z Installation Manual

Server Management and Platform
Software
This section includes descriptions of the network share volume (NSV) structure that
is included with your server on CD, and a procedure for extracting and installing the
software, "Installing and Mounting the NSV Software" on page 18.
Although the SP functions normally without access to an external file system, a file
system is required to enable several features, including event log files, software
updates, diagnostics, and the troubleshooting dump utility. You can configure the
NSV to be shared among multiple SPs. Admin- and manager-level users can
configure the external file system; however, regular users can only view the current
configuration with read-only access.
The following software components are included with your server:
Platform BIOS (preinstalled)
SP Base Software (preinstalled)
SP Value-Add Software (preinstalled)
Java Runtime Environment (JRE) installation packages
Network Share Volume, which includes diagnostics
Platform Software
Motherboard platform drivers
All of these software packages are packaged with the NSV and are installed on the
file server when the external file system is installed and configured, as described in
"Installing and Mounting the NSV Software" on page 18.
