ServerStart supports remote installation.
Before performing remote installation, be sure to read "Cautions for Remote Installation" in the online
help.
3.4.1 Overview of Remote Installation
Remote installation is a method to save resources necessary for installation, such as the OS and Service
Pack, in a different server on the network and install them via the network.
If a remote resource server is configured, you can install the same resources to multiple servers. This
method is useful in configuring multiple servers.
● Target Server and Remote Resource Server/PXE Server
A server to which resources are installed is called a "target server". A server that stores resources
necessary for remote installation is called a "remote resource server". A server that can start up a target
server through network startup (PXE) is called a "PXE server".
■ Installation Method
Remote installation uses a PXE or a remote resource server.
