5.4 Creating Maintenance Tools
This section explains how to create tools for maintaining the server.
Maintenance tools are created with the FloppyBuilder function of ServerStart.
With the FloppyBuilder function of ServerStart, you can create the following tools:
• DOS floppy disks
• Hardware Configuration Tools (such as Server Management Tools)
The FfloppyBuilder can be used under environments such as:
• the ServerStart system started on a client computer (recommended)
• the system started on the server using the ServerStart CD-ROM
When creating the tools on a client computer, it is necessary to install ServerStart on the client
computer beforehand. Install it according to "2.4 Preparation for Using ServerStart on a Client
Computer" (pg.54).
If ServerStart of a different version is installed in the computer, make sure to uninstall the ServerStart.
Then perform installation again. For details on how to uninstall ServerStart, refer to "2.4.2 Uninstalling
ServerStart" (pg.57).
The FloppyBuilder function may not operate correctly if you start up ServerStart while ServerStart of a
different version is installed in the computer. Make sure to uninstall a different version of ServerStart.
