Installing VolServ

VolServ parameter files are ASCII text files that can be modified using a text editor. The system administrator can change these parameters to tune the system for site-specific needs.

The VolServ administrator environment is created during installation. The exact setup of the environment depends largely upon the intended use of the VolServ system.
