Chapter 3 Upgrading Mac OS X Server Version 10.2 25
5 During installation, progress information is displayed.
If you’re using installation CDs (not available for version 10.4.7 or later), insert the next
installation disc when prompted.
6 After installation is complete, the computer restarts automatically and Server Assistant
opens so you can perform initial server setup.
Move through the Assistant’s panes, following the onscreen instructions. Your existing
settings are displayed in the panes, but you can change them if you like.
Unless you have a site license, you’ll need to enter a unique server software serial
number for each server you upgrade. You’ll find the number printed on the materials
provided with the server software package. If you have a site license, a registered
owner name and organization must be entered exactly as specified by your Apple
representative.
When you use the Directory Usage pane, it’s best to select “No change” in the server’s
directory setup. After setup is complete, you can make adjustments if necessary,
following instructions in the Open Directory administration guide.
You can’t enable or disable mail service or WebDAV service in the Services pane.
If either service is running when you upgrade, it will be running afterwards. If either
service is stopped when you upgrade, it will be stopped afterwards.
To enable or disable mail service or WebDAV service, use Server Admin after initial
server setup is complete.
7 After all setup data has been entered, Server Assistant displays a summary of the data.
Review the setup data, optionally clicking Go Back to change it.
8 To initiate setup of the server, click Apply.
When server setup is complete, click Restart Now.
To upgrade to version 10.4 and perform initial server setup remotely:
1 Make sure that any DHCP or DNS servers your server depends on are running.
2 Start the computer from the installation disc. The procedure you use depends on
whether the target server has an optical drive that can read your installation disc. If you
have an installation DVD, the optical drive must be able to read DVD discs.
If the target server has a keyboard and an optical drive that can read your installation
disc, insert the installation disc into the optical drive. Then hold down the C key on the
keyboard while restarting the computer.
If the target server is an Xserve with a built-in optical drive that can read your
installation disc, start the server using the installation disc by following the instructions
in the Xserve User’s Guide for starting from a system disc.
