Target volume
If the server has more than one disk or partition, you need to know the name of the one on which
you want Leopard Server installed.
If you’re installing locally and will have the Installer erase the target volume before installing Leopard
Server, you can select either of the first two disk formats listed in the worksheet.
If you’re installing remotely and will have Server Assistant erase the target disk before installing, it
uses the Mac OS Extended (Journaled) format only.
You can erase the target disk with any of the formats listed in the worksheet by using Disk Utility
before installing. Don’t use any other formats for the Mac OS X Server startup disk.
Important: Third-party software may not function properly when installed on a case-sensitive disk if
the software encounters an unforeseen case mismatch in file names.
For more information about erasing the target disk, partitioning the disk, or creating a RAID set, see
Appendix A, “Preparing Disks for Installing Mac OS X Server,” in the Getting Started guide included
with Leopard Server.
Time Machine backup
If you choose to have the Mac OS X Server Installer erase the target volume (disk or partition), you can
also have the Installer make a Time Machine backup of it before erasing it. For the most reliable
backup, you should choose a backup destination on an external hard drive or a spare internal hard
disk, if the server has one. If necessary, the backup volume you choose can be on the same disk as the
target installation volume.
