You can also view logs stored on other volumes. This is useful for:
 Starting up AXD Mac OS X tools from a USB drive or a CD, and viewing logs stored on
the Xserve’s startup volume
 Diagnosing issues that you run into while you’re not using AXD
When you view logs in AXD Mac OS X tools, AXD shows a colored circle next to the log
name to indicate whether it’s able to load the log.
To view logs:
1 Open AXD Mac OS X tools.
2 If tests are currently running, wait for them to complete or stop them.
If tests are running, you can view only the test log.
