Chapter 3 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 mode,

guided mode, and expert mode). 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.

3.4.2 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.

Professional, Quick Recovery Manager, or the Microsoft RIS function cannot be used as a PXE server.
