Chapter 4 Updating or Installing Software on the Xserve 29
Using Another Xserve to Install on a Swapped Drive Module
This is a simple method for installing or restoring software, but you must have a
second Xserve with a keyboard and display connected to it. In this method, you move
the startup drive to another Xserve, install the software using that second system, and
then return the drive to the original Xserve.
Important: The original Xserve should be the same model with the same hard drive
conguration as the Xserve youre installing Mac OS X Server on.
To install from a second Xserve:
1 Shut down the rst Xserve (the one you want to install the software on) and remove
its drive module.
2 On the second Xserve (the one you’ll use to install the software), unmount and remove
one of the drive modules (or a blank module) and insert the drive module from the
rst Xserve.
Be sure you dont remove the startup drive module from the second Xserve.
3 Insert the Mac OS X Server Install DVD in the optical drive of the second Xserve and
double-click the installer icon.
4 In the authentication window, enter an administrator password and click OK.
The second Xserve restarts from the Install disc.
5 When installation is complete, the Server Setup application appears. Quit this
application by choosing File > Quit and conrm that you want to shut down the
second Xserve.
6 Hold down the Option key, restart the second Xserve, and select its regular startup disk
from the onscreen icons.
Note: Use the Startup Disk pane of System Preferences to set the startup disk for
future restarts.
7 Return the drive module with the newly installed software to the rst Xserve and
restart it.
Don’t forget to replace the drive module or the blank module you removed from the
second Xserve.
