OS Installation Using ServerStart
Remote Installation Using a PXE Server
In remote installation using a PXE server, the network startup (PXE) function of the PXE server starts
up the target server and performs installation in preconfiguration mode. This method is used when the
target server does not have a CD-ROM or floppy disk drive.
In addition to the PXE server, a "remote resource server" that stores remote resources and a "DHCP
server" that performs the DHCP service are required for remote installation using a PXE server. When
you have only one server, store remote resources on the PXE server to install the DHCP service. When
you have multiple servers, select one for performing the DHCP service and another for storing remote
resources.
Remote Installation Using a Remote Resource Server
In remote installation using a remote resource server, ServerStart starts up on the target server.
Procedures for starting installation are the same as those in normal installation (preconfiguration,
guided, and expert modes). Once installation started, resources necessary for installation are provided
from the remote resource server. Thus, procedures such as inserting a CR-ROM are not necessary.
