Chapter 7 About Software Update Administration 71

Â Hard disk capacity and number of packages: Software Update packages can occupy

considerable hard disk space on server volumes, depending on the size and

configuration of the package and the number of packages being stored.

Â Number of Ethernet ports on the switch: Distributing Macintosh clients over multiple

Ethernet ports on your switch offers a performance advantage. Each port must serve

a distinct segment.

Â Number of Software Update servers on the network: You may want to provide different

software updates to various groups of users. By configuring Directory Services you

can offer different update services by network or hardware type, each targeting a

different Software Update server on the network.

Note: You can’t configure Software Update servers to talk to one another.

Setup Overview

Here is an overview of the basic steps for setting up Software Update service.

Step 1: Evaluate and update your network, servers, and client computers as

necessary

The number of client computers you can support using Software Update service is

determined by the number of servers you have, how they’re configured, hard disk

storage capacity, and other factors. See “Capacity Planning” on page 70.

Depending on the results of this evaluation, you may want to add servers or hard disks,

add Ethernet ports to your server, or make other changes to your servers.

Update all client computers to Mac OS X v10.4 or later in order for them to use the local

Software Update service.

Step 2: Create your software update service plan

Decide which users you want to access your software update service. You may have

groups of users to whom you want to provide unlimited access while offering others a

more limited choice of software updates. Such a plan would require more than one

software update server with client machines bound via directory services to managed

user preferences.

Step 3: Configure the Software Update Server

Decide whether you want to mirror and enable software updates from Apple

automatically or manage them manually. Set the maximum bandwidth you want a

single computer to use when downloading update packages from your server.

Step 4: Start the Software Update Service

Your server will automatically synchronize with the Apple Software Update server by

requesting a catalog of available updates. If you chose to automatically mirror updates,

your server will begin to download all available software update packages.
