Before You Begin
Take a few moments to become familiar with upgrading
and migrating.
If you’re using Mac OS X version 10.1 or 10.2, you may not need to migrate. You might
be able to
upgrade
your server, a process that installs and sets up Mac OS X Server
version 10.3 while automatically preserving existing data and service settings.
Upgrading Versus Migrating
You can upgrade your version 10.1 or 10.2 server to version 10.3 if:
•
You don’t need to reformat the current server’s hard drive.
•
Your current server hardware meets the minimum system requirements for
version 10.3.
You can install Mac OS X Server version 10.3 on any of these computers:
•
Xserve
•
G5
•
Power Mac G4
•
Macintosh Server G4
•
Macintosh Server G3
•
Power Mac G3
•
iMac
•
eMac
The computer must have:
•
At least 128 megabytes (MB) of random access memory (RAM). At least 256 MB of
RAM is required for high-demand servers running multiple services.
•
At least 4 gigabytes (GB) of disk space available.
•
A built-in USB port.
The getting started guide provides instructions for upgrading.
