Setting up or updating multiple servers

Installing your NOS without ServerGuide

Additional programs included with ServerGuide

You can use ServerGuide to create diskettes that help you set up or update multiple
servers. You can modify information on the diskettes as you use them to set up or
update other servers.
Note: Availability and function can vary by server model and by the hardware that is
installed.
You can create a Setup Replication Diskette, which contains your hardware
configuration selections. Use this diskette to replicate selections to other servers that
are of the same model.
You can create a NOS Replication Diskette, which contains your server name, domain
name, and other information that you need to complete multiple installations. This
feature supports systems running Windows 2000, Windows NT Server 4.0, and Red
Hat Linux.
If you have already configured the server hardware and you decide not to use
ServerGuide to install your NOS, download the latest NOS installation instructions:
1. Go to http://www.ibm.com/pc/support
2. Click Servers.
3. From the Family field, select your server model.
4. Click OS installation. The available installation instructions are listed.
As a convenience, ServerGuide comes with additional software to assist you with the
server installation.
A variety of powerful applications are included with ServerGuide. Offerings can vary
with the different versions of the ServerGuide software. Check the application CD
labels for a list of applications, or start the Setup and Installation CD and view the
online Overview.
