Host Types

The Sun Java System Web Server Plug-In includes several host types for you to use when deploying the Sun Java System Web Server 6.1 2005Q1 SP4. The host types correspond to the operating system of the target host. Before deploying the Administration Server or Web Server instances, change the host type of the target host to one of the following:

• com.sun.jes6_WS#Sol8-JESWebHost – Use this host type when deploying to a target host running the Solaris 8 OS on a SPARC based system.

• com.sun.jes6_WS#Sol9-JESWebHost – Use this host type when deploying to a target host running the Solaris 9 OS on a SPARC based system.

• com.sun.jes6_WS#Sol9x86-JESWebHost – Use this host type when deploying to a target host running the Solaris 9 OS on an x86 based system.

• com.sun.jes6_WS#Sol10-JESWebHost – Use this host type when deploying to a target host running the Solaris 10 OS on a SPARC based system.

• com.sun.jes6_WS#Sol10x86-JESWebHost– Use this host type when deploying to a target host running the Solaris 10 OS on an x86 based system.

• com.sun.jes6_WS#RedHat-AS21-JESWebHost – Use this host type when deploying to a target host running Red Hat Linux Advanced Server 2.1.

For instructions to change the host type, see How to Define a Host as a Sun Java System Web Server 6.1 2005Q1 SP4 Host.

When the provisioning system installs an Administration Server or a Web Server instance, the provisioning system creates a virtual host for the installed server. The provisioning system assigns one of the following host types to the newly created virtual host:

• com.sun.jes6_WS#WebAdminServerHT – The provisioning system assigns this host type to the virtual host for an Administration Server.

• com.sun.jes6_WS#WebServerInstanceHT – The provisioning system assigns this host type to the virtual host for a Web Server instance.
