56 Chapter 3 Installing Server Software
In addition to the installation DVD or CDs, Mac OS X Server includes the Mac OS X
Server Admin Tools CD, which you use to set up an administrator computer.
Upgrading and Migrating
If you’re using computers with Mac OS X Server versions earlier than 10.4, consider
updating them to version 10.4.
If you’re using version 10.3.9 or 10.2.8 and you don’t need to move to different
computer hardware, you can perform an upgrade installation. Upgrading is simple
because it preserves your existing settings and data. If you’ve been using Macintosh
Manager to manage Mac OS 9 client computers, you can continue to do so, an option
not available when you migrate. See the documentation for your version 10.2 or 10.3
server for Macintosh Manager information.
When you can’t use the upgrade approach, you can migrate data and settings.
You’ll need to migrate, not upgrade, when:
 A version 10.2.8 or 10.3 server’s hard disk needs reformatting or doesn’t meet the
minimum version 10.4 hardware requirements. See “Understanding System
Requirements for Installing Mac OS X Server” on page 54.
 You want to move data and settings you’ve been using on a version 10.2.8 or 10.3
server to different server hardware.
 The server version you’ve been using is earlier than version 10.2.8.
Migration from Mac OS X Server versions 10.3.9, 10.2.8, 10.1.4, 10.1.5, and 1.2; and from
AppleShare IP version 6.3.3 are supported. When you migrate, you install and set up a
version 10.4 server, restore files onto it from the earlier server, and make some manual
adjustments as required.
