HP SVA V2.0 Software Installation Guide

You can also view the full set of online documentation directly from the SVA CD using a Windows
or Linux system. The main navigation page for the Documentation Library is located on the CD
at the following location:
sva/index.htm
Because all the documentation is contained in a tree of Web-compatible files, you can also copy
the tree to any Web server root directory (Windows, UNIX®, or Linux). It can then be viewed
from its URL by anyone with access to that Web server.
The SVA Documentation Library is a set of files bundled into a single compressed tar file for
convenience. You can install the tar file manually at any time on an existing Linux or Windows
machine; for example, before you set up all the cluster hardware and complete the installation
of the cluster software.
1. Mount the SVA CD in the CD-ROM drive on an existing Windows machine or Linux machine
(not part of the SVA).
2. Locate the sva_docs.tar.gz file, which contains the Documentation Library files in the
root level of the CD.
3. Follow the instructions for the target system:
• Linux
The /var/www/html directory is where Apache stores HTML files on Red Hat systems.
You can install the files in /var/www/html/sva. If you install the Documentation
Library files on a system which has Apache running, you can access the documentation
from that system at https://localhost/sva. Use the tar utility to extract and
install the Documentation Library.
• Windows
Use WinZip to extract the entire tree for the Documentation Library to a local file system
on disk, or a Web server root directory for viewing from a URL address.
4. In either case, open index.htm to view the main navigation window. It lists all the online
books, including the SVA Software Installation Guide.
