RAID mirroring
(when erasing the
disk is OK and you
have a second
physical drive on the
target server)
Indicate whether you want to set up RAID
mirroring. The second disk is used automatically if
the primary disk isn’t available.
If the target disk has a single partition and the
second physical drive has a single partition and
no data, you can set up RAID mirroring after
installation. However, to prevent data loss, set up
RAID mirroring as soon as possible.
Using saved
setup data
If you want to use saved setup data to set up this
server, identify the file or directory storing the
data you want to use. If the data is encrypted,
also identify the passphrase.
If you want to save settings in a file or directory,
use one of the next two rows.
Saving setup data in
a file
Name the file using one of these options:
- <MAC-address-of-server>.plist (include any
leading zeros but omit colons). For example,
0030654dbcef.plist.
- <IP-address-of-server>.plist. For example,
10.0.0.4.plist.
- <partial-DNS-name-of-server>.plist.
For example, myserver.plist.
- <built-in-hardware-serial-number-of-
server>.plist (first 8 characters only). For example,
ABCD1234.plist.
- <fully-qualified-DNS-name-of-server>.plist.
For example, myserver.example.com.plist.
- <partial-IP-address-of-server>.plist. For example,
10.0.plist (matches 10.0.0.4 and 10.0.1.2).
- generic.plist (a file that any server will recognize,
used to set up servers that need the same setup
values).
If you choose to encrypt the file, you can save
the passphrase in a file named using the above
conventions, except use the extension .pass,
not .plist.
Place the file(s) in a location where the target
server or servers can detect it. A server can detect
files that reside on a volume mounted locally in
/Volumes/*/Auto Server Setup/, where * is any
device mounted under /Volumes.
