Chapter 4 Initial Server Setup 83
generic.plist (a file that any server will recognize, used to set up servers that need the
same setup values). If the serial number specified in the file isn’t site licensed, after
setup you need to manually set it. Use Server Admin or the following command in
the Terminal application: serversetup -setServerSerialNumber.
 The correct passphrase is provided to the server if the setup data is encrypted.
You can use Server Assistant to supply a passphrase interactively, or you can supply
the passphrase in a text file. Place the passphrase file on a volume mounted locally
on the target server in /Volumes/*/Auto Server Setup/<pass-phrase-file>.
The passphrase file can have one of these names; target servers search for names in
the order listed:
<MAC-address-of-server>.pass (include any leading zeros but omit colons). For
example, 0030654dbcef.pass.
<IP-address-of-server>.pass. For example, 10.0.0.4.pass.
<partial-DNS-name-of-server>.pass. For example, myserver.pass.
<built-in-hardware-serial-number-of-server>.pass (first 8 characters only). For
example, ABCD1234.pass.
<fully-qualified-DNS-name-of-server>.pass. For example, myserver.example.com.pass.
<partial-IP-address-of-server>.pass. For example, 10.0.pass (matches 10.0.0.4 and
10.0.1.2).
generic.pass (a file that any server will recognize). If the server software serial number
isn’t site licensed, after setup you need to manually set it. Use Server Admin or the
