AXD Mac OS X tools and AXD EFI tools have different

interfaces and functionality. This chapter describes how to

use both sets of AXD tools.

Before you can use AXD tools, make sure you’ve properly started up the tools.
For more information, see Chapter 3, “Starting Up AXD Tools,” on page 17.

Setting AXD to Host, Client, or Local Mode

AXD tools can start up in any of three modes, depending on whether:

You’re opening AXD EFI tools or AXD Mac OS X tools

Any of the computers on the same subnet are host computers

A host computer is directly connected

You’re logged in as root

You’re running AXD Mac OS X tools on a computer that isn’t an Intel-based Xserve
