Chapter 3 OS Installation Using ServerStart
3.5 Installation on Multiple (the
Second and Subsequent) Servers
This chapter explains how to perform installation on multiple servers using
ServerStart.
By editing the configuration file created for installation on the first server, you can use
it for installation on other servers of the same model and configuration. This reduces
the setup time. However, installation on the first server must be performed using
ServerStart in guided or preconfiguration mode.
Check that ServerStart supplied with the first server is of the same version as that supplied with the
other servers. If the version is different, this installation method will not work.
3.5.1 Preparation for Installation
■ Required Software
The following software is required for installation on the second and subsequent servers. Be sure to have
these items close at hand.
• CD-ROM for the OS to be installed
• ServerStart CD-ROM
• ServerStart floppy disk
A: ServerStart floppy disk containing the configuration file used for installation on the first server
B: ServerStart floppy disks supplied with the ServerStart CD-ROMs for the second and subsequent
servers
If ServerStart floppy disks are not supplied, prepare as many floppy disks as there are servers.
• PRIMERGY Document & Tool CD (Disc 1) (for installing ServerView)
• Service Pack CD-ROM for the OS to be installed
■ Preparatory Procedure
Perform the following procedure before installation.
Using Explorer or Command Prompt, copy the ServerStart floppy disk (A) to the ServerStart floppy disk
(B).
