82 Chapter 4 Initial Server Setup
The next two sections provide more details about how to use saved setup data.
Using Setup Data Saved in a File
When you save setup data in a file, a target server automatically detects and uses the
file if:
 Setup data the target server recognizes isn’t found in a directory the server is
configured to use. See “Using Setup Data Saved in a Directory” on page 84 for
information on how a server detects and uses directory data to set itself up.
 The setup file is on a volume mounted locally in /Volumes/*/Auto Server Setup/,
where * is any device mounted under /Volumes. A target server searches through
volumes alphabetically by device name.
The device that is mounted as a file system can be the server’s hard drive or an iPod,
DVD, CD, FireWire drive, USB drive, or other device plugged in to the server. For
example, /Volumes/AdminiPod/Auto Server Setup/myserver.example.com.plist.
 The setup file name is one of these; 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).
