Using Commands over the Serial Port to Install from the Optical Drive

Another way to install Mac OS X Server on the Xserve without a keyboard or display is

to use the Xserve serial port and optical drive.

To use the serial port and command line to install:

1 Connect a management console or a computer running terminal emulation software

to the serial port on the back of the Xserve.

2 Insert the Mac OS X Server Install DVD in the Xserve optical drive.

3 Use the front panel controls to start up the Xserve from the optical drive.

For information, see “Choosing a Startup Method from the Front Panel” on page 14.

The Xserve starts up from the disc in the optical drive and a login prompt appears in

the terminal window.

4 Log in as the user “root” with the password consisting of the rst 8 characters of the

Xserve serial number.

5 If necessary, use the diskutil tool to erase, format, or partition the drive you plan to

install Mac OS X Server on. For help, type the command without any parameters:

$ diskutil

6 Switch to the directory on the DVD that contains the installation packages:

$ cd /System/Installation/Packages

7 Run the installer tool, specifying the Mac OS X Server metapackage:

$ installer -pkg ./OSInstall.mpkg -target /Volumes/volume -verboseR

where volume is the name of the volume you want to install the software on.
