Configuring a headless Xserve with more than two drives
Authored by: matthewshull on Apr 17, '03 01:11:40PM

How about something even simpler? Why couldn't you eject all of the drives except for the boot drive? Then rename the boot drive. Mount one of the other drives and rename it. Repeat as necessary, but the point is to only have one drive mounted at a time until they are all renamed.

I don't have an Xserve, but that would seem like it would work.

Configuring a headless Xserve with more than two drives
Authored by: bighead on Apr 19, '03 06:54:54PM

I've done that with internal drives formatted all as
"Untitled". Given, unplugging IDE cables is a *censored*, but
removing one drive at a time in an xServe is not difficult.
But seriously, if you're trying to configure a headless xServe
and you can't either figure out Matt's solution or use the
CLI tools yourself, you shouldn't be configuring a headless
xServe.
