Chapter 6 Installing Server Software 83
3 Restart the computer while holding down the C key on the keyboard. The computer
boots from the install disc. You can release the C key when you see the Apple logo.
4 When Installer opens, if you want to perform a clean installation, optionally use the
Installer menu to open Disk Utility or Terminal to prepare the target disk before
proceeding. Use Disk Utility to format the disk as Mac OS Extended. Use the diskutil
command in Terminal to format it as case-sensitive HFS+.
Important: Don’t store data on the hard disk or hard disk partition where the operating
system is installed. With this approach, you will not risk losing data should you need to
reinstall or upgrade system software.
5 Proceed through the Installer’s panes by following the onscreen instructions.
6 When the Select a Destination pane appears, select a target disk or volume (partition)
and make sure it’s in the expected state.
If you are doing a clean installation, you can choose Installer > Open Disk Utility or
Installer > Open Terminal to work with disk preparation one final time before selecting
the target volume and clicking Continue. Or you can click Options to format the
destination disk or volume in Mac OS Extended (Journaled) format; select “Erase and
format” to format the disk in Mac OS Extended (Journaled) format; then click OK.
If the volume you selected contains Mac OS X Server version10.1 or 10.2 and you want
to upgrade, click Options and select “Don’t erase”. Click OK.
7 During installation, progress information is displayed. Insert the next installation disc
when prompted.
After installation is complete, the server restarts automatically and you can perform
initial server setup. Chapter 7, “Initial Server Setup,” on page 89 describes how.
Using Server Assistant to Install Remotely From the Install Discs
To install Mac OS X Server on a remote server from the server install discs, you need
access to the target computer and an administrator computer from which to manage
the installation.
To install to a remote server using the install discs:
1 If you will be performing a clean installation rather than upgrading from Mac OS X
Server version 10.2, preserve any user data that resides on the disk or partition onto
which you’ll install the server software. Then optionally use Disk Utility or Terminal
locally (in /Applications/Utilities/) to prepare the target disk. Use Disk Utility to format
the disk as Mac OS Extended. Use the diskutil command in Terminal to format it as
case-sensitive HFS+.
Important: Don’t store data on the hard disk or hard disk partition where the operating
system is installed. With this approach, you will not risk losing data should you need to
reinstall or upgrade system software.
