Configuring And Starting The Update Server Application - Sun Microsystems Fire V20z Management Manual

Note – When you unzip a compressed file on Linux, use the -a switch (for example,
unzip -a filename.zip) to force text files to convert to the target operating
system's appropriate end-of-line termination.
A new release manifest file (releaseVersion.xml) is added to the root directory
of the NSV. See
about the NSV structure.
3. For Linux-based systems, ensure that the NSV directory has been exported.
4. Decide whether you will update using the Update Server application or by NFS
mount:
If you plan to use the Update Server application, go to
■
the Update Server Application" on page
If you plan to update by the NFS mount method, logon to the SP and mount the
■
NSV.
For example, if the IP address of the machine with the new NSV is 10.10.20.100
and you extracted the NSV files to a directory named newNSV, you would run the
command:
sp add mount –r 10.10.20.100:/newNSV -l /mnt
The NSV will then be available to the SP at /mnt/sw_images/.

Configuring and Starting the Update Server
Application
The Update Server configuration file allows you to export multiple packages with
multiple versions to one or more SPs. To select the appropriate updates, follow the
instructions below.
1. Navigate to NVS/update_server/Vx.xx (where Vx.xx is the version you want) to
find the configuration file.
The configuration file includes example data lines, shown below.
