Chapter 3 OS Installation Using ServerStart

3.4 Remote Installation

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.
