Netra j 3.0 Installation Guide

Installation and Upgrade Notes

This section contains background information on Netra j 3.0 and special installation and upgrade instructions.

Localized Installations and Upgrades

Though the install and upgrade scripts install localization packages, the Netra j 3.0 administration interface remains in English until the System Defaults module is configured. Then the administration interface becomes localized.

Local Name Service

After an upgrade, use the Local Name Service module to check if the Netra j 3.0 server host name is mapped to the loopback IP address (127.0.0.1). If it is, change this address to the IP address of the JavaStation boot server. This may be the Netra j 3.0 server itself. Then map localhost to 127.0.0.1.

Netra j 3.0 Web Servers

Netra j 3.0 requires two web servers. One web server resides at port 81 and serves the pages of the Netra j 3.0 administration interface to a web browser. The other resides at port 80 and delivers the HotJava Views application to the NCs.

The Sun WebServers are configured as follows:
