Step 4: Mount the ASIP server on Mac OS X Server
To mount the ASIP server:
1On the ASIP server, disconnect all users and administrators and shut down the mail server.
2On Mac OS X Server, log in using the root user account, and then turn off all services using Server Admin.
3Choose Go > Connect to Server.
4Enter the IP address or DNS name of the ASIP server, then click Connect.
5Log in to the ASIP server as an administrator, then mount the startup volume for the ASIP server.
Step 5: Set up the home directory infrastructure
Set up the destination for home directories you want to restore.
For detailed instructions on how to perform individual steps in the following procedure, see the user management guide.
To prepare the server to store home directories:
1Create the folder you want to serve as the home directory share point, if required. You can use the predefined /Users folder, if you like.
2Open Workgroup Manager on the server where you want the home directories to reside.
3Click Sharing to set up a share point for the home directories.
If the user accounts will reside in a shared Open Directory directory, create a dynamically automounted AFP or NFS share point for the home directories. Make sure the share point is published in the directory where the user accounts that depend on it will reside.
4If you’ll import user and group accounts from an XML file using Workgroup Manager, optionally set up a preset. When you import users, you identify the preset, and the users inherit settings associated with the preset.
In Workgroup Manager on the computer from which you’ll import users, click Accounts, then open the directory into which you’ll import users.
Define the preset. You can specify default home directory settings for users, password validation settings, mail settings, and so forth.
