OS Installation Using ServerStart
● 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.
■ System Requirements for Remote Resource/PXE Servers
Because remote installation is performed via a network, the environment must have at least one
Windows server and a local area network.
In addition, the following environment is required.
■ Remote Resource/PXE Server Requirements
Notes on the PXE server
Check that no other PXE server exists on the same LAN.
Servers installed with software with the PXE function such as SystemcastWizard/SystemcastWizard
Professional, Quick Recovery Manager, or the Microsoft RIS function cannot be used as a PXE server.
