10.6 Starting Up the Branch Server

At the Branch Server site, boot and configure the Branch Server as follows:

  1. Set the branch server to boot from CD.

  2. Insert the floppy disk and CD into the appropriate drives.

  3. Boot the server.

    The automatic installation system starts. It requests confirmation at the start of the installation, but otherwise runs without interaction.

  4. After the system is installed, log in as the root user to start the automatic configuration of the Branch Server software.

    The posInitBranchserver.sh script automatically starts, sets the parameters as specified in the posInitBranchserver.auto.cfg file, and requests any missing parameters.

  5. Run possyncimages.pl to download the client images from the Administration Server.
