The Xserve (Late 2006 and later) includes an embedded processor that is responsible for sensor monitoring and reporting. Server Monitor must be configured to use the network address associated with the LOM port for remote monitoring to work

4 Feb 2010Learn about using named streams over SMB connections in this advanced article. Named streams are used to store Mac OS X extended attributes and can be leveraged to avoid using AppleDouble files to store the data fork and the resource fork of legacy Mac files. Mac OS X Server v10.5 and v10.6, as well as many Network Attached Storage (NAS) devices, support named streams when you connect to them via SMB. Microsoft Windows servers with NTFS-formatted hard drives also support named streams when you connect to them via SMB; named streams are called “Alternate Data Streams” in Windows

3 Feb 2010The Multicast DNS feature of Bonjour allows devices on a local network to connect to each other without a separate DNS server by using the “.local” domain, as described in this article. This advanced article explains how to make your Mac look up host names ending in “.local” using both Multicast DNS and standard Unicast DNS using the name servers specified in the Network pane of System Preferences. Some private networks also use “.local” domains for hosts registered with their internal DNS server, even though it is not a valid top-level domain on the public Internet. If your Mac is connected to such a network, you may want it to look up host names that end in “.local” by using Unicast DNS to speak to a DNS server, the same way that it looks up host names such as “www.apple.com” on the Internet.

6 Jan 2010To provide service to all types of clients, the complete pathname of a network home directory must not exceed 89 characters. This affects Apple Filing Protocol (AFP) and Network File System (NFS) home directories, for example. If the absolute path from the client to the network home directory on the server contains more than 89 characters, certain types of clients cannot connect.
The outside of the box said "Windows base machine or better", so I bought a Mac.
