Note:

This guide describes how to use AXD version 3X102. If you’re using a different

version of AXD, the instructions in this guide might not work. AXD version 3X102 is

included in Mac OS X Server Administration Tools version 10.4.10 and later. You can find

out which version of AXD tools you’re running by opening AXD Mac OS X tools and

choosing AXD > About Apple Xserve Diagnostics.

Overview of AXD Configurations

You can install and run AXD in a variety of ways, so it’s important that you choose the

method that best suits your needs.

There are several AXD configuration options with distinct considerations:

Option Considerations

Host a NetBoot server Advantages:

Don’t need to install AXD on an internal volume on the Xserve or

on a portable storage device

Can test multiple Xserves using the same AXD install image

Allows you to use AXD EFI tools

You can load AXD tools without an input device connected to the

Xserve (if you have access to the Xserve’s front panel)

Disadvantages:

Requires a server to host NetBoot service and the AXD install

image

Xserve must be on the same subnet as the NetBoot server

Install AXD EFI tools on an

internal volume

Advantages:

Allows you to use AXD EFI tools

Don’t need physical access to Xserve to run AXD remotely

Disadvantages:

Requires a volume on the Xserve that has 15 megabytes (MB) free

and that doesn’t have Mac OS X or Mac OS X Server installed

Install AXD EFI tools on a

portable storage device

Advantages:

Allows you to use AXD EFI tools

You can use the same portable storage device to test multiple

Xserves

Disadvantages:

Requires a volume on the Xserve that has 15 MB free and that

doesn’t have Mac OS X or Mac OS X Server installed

Portable storage device must be physically connected to the
