Functional Overview

LINUX5 and LINUX64 are general server appliances. They may be branched to make new server appliances: singletons or server classes.

Each one includes a reasonably complete installation of its OS, including the GCC compiler if available. This allows installing and building software on the branched appliances.

The generic server appliances are designed to be used in two ways:

As a customized server, by branching the base class to form singleton and modifying its class volume appropriately
As a template for building other server appliances, by using it as a base to create new application-specific or global catalog classes.

Here 'server' means virtual server. Virtual servers are similar to appliances in all aspects except intent (virtual servers are made to be logged into for the installation of additional software) and volume size (much bigger than appliance's volumes).

If you don't need GCC and the ability to build on the server appliance, consider using the LUX5 generic appliance template instead of LINUX5.

Terminals

Name	Dir	Protocol	Description
`in`	in	any	Generic input
`out`	out	any	Generic output for a single host
`net`	out	any	Generic output for subnet access
`mon`	out	cce	Sends performance and resource usage statistics.

One use of the net output is to connect it to the Subnet Output Gateway in order to download software to be installed on the server. Once you are finish installing, you can disconnect the gateway (or make it standby).

If you branch one of the server appliances in order to create your custom appliances, you may want to remove the unnecessary interfaces.

Properties

(none)

Volumes

Servers have only a boot volume (instantiable class volume). There are no placeholder volumes (although when you branch this class to create a customized server, you can add a placeholder volume).

Notes

None.

Open source and 3rd party software used inside of the appliance

LINXU5/LINUX64 use the following open source and 3rd party packages in addition to its base OS install of CentOS? 5.4.

NOTE: These packages are installed due to yum update.
