The Xserve G5 system's diagnostic tool, Xserve Remote Diagnostics, performs several tests of the server hardware and creates a test report. You use a remote admin computer to control the diagnostic tool and to run the tests on an Xserve G5 system. Xserve Remote Diagnostics has a standard set of quick tests (the default set) and a more extensive long set of tests. In addition, you can use a copy of the test files as a template and modify those files to customize tests. See "Creating a Custom Set of Diagnostic Tests" on page 6 for more information. Overview of Using Xserve Remote Diagnostics To run the diagnostics tool, you need the following resources: · An Xserve G5 system on which to perform the tests; the server must be running Mac OS X Server v10. 3 or a later version. (If the server is not able to run Mac OS X, see "Example 2: Using Diagnostics on a Server That Is in an Unknown State" on page 5 for instructions. ) · A remote admin computer (or server) running Mac OS X 10. 3 or later that is on the same subnet as the server to be tested · A working NetBoot environment (a server running Mac OS X Server 10. 2 or a later version, and configured for NetBoot, with DHCP running) Note: The remote admin computer and the NetBoot server can be the same system. If the NetBoot server is also the remote admin computer, you must set up the server's boot volume as a NetBoot environment before installing Xserve Remote Diagnostics. See "Preparing the NetBoot Server" on page 4 for more information. The procedure for using the diagnostic tool has the following steps. Each step is explained later in this document. 2 Step 1: Download and install the software See "Installing Xserve Remote Diagnostics" on page 3 for details...
