AltecXP Posted November 20, 2009 Share Posted November 20, 2009 We just got 2 xserve's here at work and being new to them I wanted to install it on my macbook so I could do some training. Is this possible of would the DVD block the install? It's 10.5 if it matters. Thanks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Elliott Posted November 20, 2009 Share Posted November 20, 2009 You wanna install OS X Server on your MacBook? I think the Xserve restore DVD will block it, but if you search around, I'm sure you can find an OS X Server ISO. The serial number from the the Xserve will work.

Rudy Posted November 20, 2009 Share Posted November 20, 2009 or you can also install it in VMWare Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dyn Posted November 23, 2009 Share Posted November 23, 2009 If you want to play around with MacOS X Server (because putting an Xserve on your MacBook...well...you probably need a hammer or something like that to do so :p) it's better to use virtualisation software like VMware Fusion or Parallels 5. I'd vote for Fusion as it seems to be less flaky and is a bit easier to use. OS X Server is btw the only OS X version you're allowed to virtualise (both VMware and Parallels have technically limited that so you can't virtualise the non-server version). Be sure to create snapshots, if something goes wrong you can put back a certain snapshot which will revert whatever you broke :p Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
