Overview and Requirements

If the client Xserve is running AXD Mac OS X tools, you must be able to log in as

the root account. The root account gives a system administrator complete access
to the Xserve.

If you want to run AXD tools entirely remotely (for situations where the Xserve is
physically inaccessible or if you want to save AXD EFI tools test results), in addition
to meeting the network requirements, the Xserve must be able to start up Mac OS X
Server.

NetBoot Server Requirements

To host AXD EFI tools on a NetBoot server, your NetBoot server also must:

Have Mac OS X Server version 10.5.4 or later installed.

Be on the same subnet as the Xserve being tested.

Have 30 MB of hard drive space available for an AXD NetBoot image.
