Well, we got our new XServe, but after that, I discovered that it doesn’t have any video card. So… how can I complete installation process?<\/p>\n
Reading XServe User Guide<\/a>, Chapter 2: Starting Up the Xserve, Local and Remote Software Setup, it explains we can configure and install server by different ways:<\/p>\n Ok, now I repeat: How can I connect to the server to configure it?<\/p>\n Easy, you’ll need:<\/p>\n Next, access to the server using SSH: ssh root@ip_xserve , and enter Serial Number as password. Then, we’ll start Screen Sharing service:<\/p>\n \/System\/Library\/CoreServices\/RemoteManagement\/ARDAgent.app\/Contents\/Resources\/kickstart -activate -configure -access -on -users admin -privs -all -restart -agent -menu<\/tt><\/em><\/p><\/blockquote>\n Ok, now we have Screen Sharing service running and we can use VNC Viewer app to access to server. On linux:<\/p>\n vncviewer ip_xserve<\/em><\/p><\/blockquote>\n It will ask for a password, and we’ll enter Serial Number. Finally, we could finish installation process.<\/p>\n After reboot, Screen Sharing services won’t start. We’ll access again trought SSH and execute last command:<\/p>\n \/System\/Library\/CoreServices\/RemoteManagement\/ARDAgent.app\/Contents\/Resources\/kickstart -activate -configure -access -on -users admin -privs -all -restart -agent -menu<\/tt><\/em><\/p><\/blockquote>\n But, now we’ll need a Mac OS X to connect to server, because on Linux i received errors like in this thread: http:\/\/discussions.apple.com\/thread.jspa?threadID=1912914<\/a>. This is caused of VNC support isn’t activated running Apple Remote Desktop Agent.<\/p>\n So, using a Mac OS X, Finder->Go->Connect to Server and write vnc:\/\/ip_xserve<\/em>. We could use root user with SerialNumber as password, or user created on Server Installation Assistant.<\/p>\n Enjoy \ud83d\ude42<\/p>\n\n
