Xen Enterprise Grade Open Source Virtualization

What Virtualization Enables

OS virtualization is achieved by inserting a layer of software between the OS and the underlying server hardware. This layer is responsible for allowing multiple OS images (and their running applications) to share the resources of a single server. Each OS believes that it has the resources of the entire machine under its control, but beneath its feet, the virtualization layer, or hypervisor, transparently ensures that resources are properly shared between different OS images and their applications.

What the Xen hypervisor is:

  • The industry’s fastest and most secure hypervisor.
  • Open source software, collaboratively developed by over 20 of the world’s leading enterprise infrastructure vendors, yet backed by an enterprise quality and service focused vendor, Citrix, which ensures the quality and reliability enterprises demand from their virtualization vendor.
  • A common, open industry standard code base that supports all operating systems with high performance and security.

MetaFrame Presentation Server Client for 32-bit Windows Guide

This manual is for system administrators responsible for installing, configuring, deploying, and maintaining the MetaFrame Presentation Server Clients for 32-bit Windows. These clients are available as Program Neighborhood, Program Neighborhood Agent, and the Web Client. This manual assumes knowledge of:

  • The server farm to which your Clients connect
  • The operating system on the client device (Windows 9x, Windows Me, Windows NT, Windows 2000, Windows XP, or Windows 2003)
  • Installation, operation, and maintenance of network and asynchronous communication hardware, including serial ports, modems, and device adapters

This chapter introduces Version 8.x of the Citrix Clients for computers running 32- bit Windows operating systems. It is designed to help you decide which Clients to use in your computing environment and how to deploy them.

Note For information about Clients for other client devices and operating systems, see the documentation included on your MetaFrame Presentation Server Components CD or visit our Web site at http://www.citrix.com/.

Snort Installation Manual

Introduction

The purpose of this guide is to document the installation and configuration of a complete Snort implementation. This guide contains all the necessary information for installing and understanding the architectural layout of the implementation.

The information in this guide was written for implementing Snort 1.8 using Redhat 7.3. You may find some discrepancies if you are installing different versions of Snort or using different versions of Redhat. This guide was written with the assumption that you understand how to run Snort and have a basic understanding of Linux. This includes editing files, making directories, compiling software and understanding general Unix commands. This guide does not explain how to use or configure Snort, but information on where to obtain this information can be found in the “Additional Information” section.

The Initial Setup Wizard consists of several screens that allow you to change the server name, set the date and time, set the administrator password, configure TCP/IP settings for the Ethernet port (Ethernet1), and reclaim storage space that has been reserved in case you want to use Snapshots.

Server Name
The default server name is SNAPnnnnnn, where nnnnnn is the server number. If desired, enter a unique server name of up to 15 alphanumeric characters. In addition to letters and numbers, you can also use a dash (-) between characters, but spaces and underscores (_) are not allowed.
