Network Share Volume (NSV) CD-ROM

A network share volume (NSV) structure is included with the server on the Sun Fire V20z and Sun Fire V40z Servers Network Share Volume CD.

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; regular users can only view the current configuration.

The following software components are included with the server:

Platform BIOS

SP base software

SP value-add software

Update file for downloading Java Runtime Environment (JRE) packages

Network share volume software, 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.

For instructions on extracting and installing the NSV software, refer to the Sun Fire V20z and Sun Fire V40z Servers Installation Guide.
