3.4.6 Starting Remote Installation Using a Remote
Resource Server
In remote installation using a remote resource server, installation is performed using shared resources on
the remote resource server.
Perform "3.4.4 Preparation of Remote Resources" (
pg.100) before starting installation.
■ Configuring a Remote Floppy
A remote floppy is a shared folder for storing and using a configuration file on the network, instead of
loading it from the ServerStart floppy disk. When the server does not have a floppy disk drive and
installation is performed in guided mode/expert mode, use a remote floppy.
1 Create a new folder in the shared folder on the remote resource server.
E.g.: C:\export\ServerStart\Floppy
2 Create a "ServerStart Floppy Disk" tag file for the ServerStart floppy disk. Start
up Command Prompt and enter the following command.
C:\>copy nul C:\export\ServerStart\Floppy\"ServerStart Floppy Disk"
■ Checking Remote Resources
Check that the remote resource server is shared properly.
1 Start up "Command Prompt" on the remote resource server. Enter the following
and press the [Enter] key.
prompt:>net share
Check that the created shared folder is displayed properly.
For the net command, refer to Windows Help.
