You can modify information on the diskettes as you use them to set up or update other servers. Note: Availability and function can vary by server model and by the hardware that is installed. You can create a setup-replication diskette, which contains your hardware configuration selections. Use this diskette to replicate selections to other servers that are of the same model. You can create an operating-system replication diskette, which contains information that you need to complete multiple installations. Not all operating systems support operating-system replication diskettes. Chapter 2. Configuration 23

Setting
up
or
updating
multiple
servers
You
can
use
the
ServerGuide
program
to
create
diskettes
that
help
you
set
up
or
update
multiple
servers.
You
can
modify
information
on
the
diskettes
as
you
use
them
to
set
up
or
update
other
servers.
Note:
Availability
and
function
can
vary
by
server
model
and
by
the
hardware
that
is
installed.
You
can
create
a
setup-replication
diskette,
which
contains
your
hardware
configuration
selections.
Use
this
diskette
to
replicate
selections
to
other
servers
that
are
of
the
same
model.
You
can
create
an
operating-system
replication
diskette,
which
contains
information
that
you
need
to
complete
multiple
installations.
Not
all
operating
systems
support
operating-system
replication
diskettes.
