Chapter 5 Installation and Deployment 101
After installation is complete, the target server restarts and you can perform initial
server setup. Chapter 6, “Initial Server Setup,” on page 108 describes how.
Installing Remotely with Server Assistant
To install Mac OS X Server on a remote server from the server Install DVD, installation
partition, or NetInstall disk, you need an administrator computer from which to use
Server Assistant to manage the installation:
Administrator computer
Subnet 1
Subnet 2
Welcome
>installer
>installer
After the computer starts up from the Install Disk, you can control and manage the
server from an administration computer.
Important: If you have administrative applications and tools from Mac OS X Server
v10.5 or earlier, do not use them with Mac OS X Server v10.6.
To use the Installer user interface, use VNC to view and interact with the remote
installer. For more information, see “Installing Remotely with Screen Sharing and
VNC” on page 102.
You don’t need to be an administrator on the local computer to use Server Assistant.
To install on a remote server by using Server Assistant:
1 Start up the target computer using the Install DVD, installer partition, or NetInstall disk.
If you need more information on your startup options, see “About Starting Up for
Installation” on page 84.
2 After the target computer starts, launch Server Admin in the /Applications/Server/
folder on the administrator computer.
