Viewing Saved Logs

Whenever you start AXD EFI tools, it automatically creates a log of its test results in
the /AXDLogs folder of the volume with AXD EFI tools installed. This log is continually
updated as tests complete. If the Xserve crashes during tests, you can review the log to
see which test it crashed on.

If you run AXD EFI tools from the Admin Tools disc, NetBoot disc image, or from a
volume that is not in MS-DOS (FAT) format, logs are not saved. For more information
about formatting volumes, see “Setting Up a Storage Device for AXD Tools
Installation
” on page 12.

The logs are named:
AXD_date_time_serialnumber.txt

The date and time indicate when AXD EFI tools was started. The time is in Greenwich
Mean Time (GMT) using a 24-hour clock format.
