Chapter 4 Initial Server Setup 103
11 To encrypt the file, select “Save in Encrypted Format” then enter and verify a
passphrase.
You must supply the passphrase before an encrypted setup file can be used by a target
server.
12 Click OK, navigate to the location where you want to save the file, name the file using
one of the following options, and click Save; when searching for setup files, target
servers search for names in the order listed:
<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).
13 Place the file in a location where the target server or servers can detect it.
A server can detect a setup file if it resides on a volume mounted locally in /Volumes/*/
Auto Server Setup/, where * is any device mounted under /Volumes. The device can be
the server’s hard drive or an iPod, DVD, CD, FireWire drive, USB drive, or other device
plugged into the server.
