Introduction to the Sun Java System Web Server 6.1 2005Q1 SP4

The Sun Java System Web Server 6.1 2005Q1 SP4 is a secure and highly available server that you can use to host web sites. When you install the Sun Java System Web Server 6.1 2005Q1 SP4 product, the following two server instances are installed:

• Administration Server

• Web Server instance

The Administration Server is a web-based server that contains the Java forms that you use to configure all of your Web Server instances. After you install the initial Web Server instance, you can use the Administration Server to install additional instances.

The Sun Java System Web Server Plug-In enables you to use the N1 Grid Service Provisioning System to install and control Sun Java System Web Server 6.1 2005Q1 SP4 Administration Servers and Web Server instances. Using the provisioning system, you install an Administration Server and the first Web Server instance together. The provisioning system cannot install additional instances of the Web Server. You must use the Administration Server to manually install additional instances. However, you can use the provisioning system to control all of your Web Server instances if you use the CreateWebServer plan to add those instances to the provisioning system database.
