Appendix Troubleshooting 33
If the hard disk is erased or Xserve software is damaged
Reinstall the Mac OS X Server software. For information about installation methods,
see Chapter 4, “Updating or Installing Software on the Xserve,” on page 25.
If you can’t use Server Monitor to control an Xserve
Make sure you’re using the address of the Xserve’s lights-out management port.
To connect to a remote Xserve using Server Monitor, use the administrator user name,
password, and DNS name or IP address of the lights-out management port on the
Xserve. To see the server’s lights-out management settings, open Server Monitor on
the server and choose Server > Configure Local Machine. You can’t connect using the
IP address of the server’s Ethernet 1 or Ethernet 2 port as specified in the Network
pane of System Preferences.
Using Apple Xserve Diagnostics Software
The Xserve comes with Apple Xserve Diagnostics software that you can use to test the
Xserve hardware. For information, see the Apple Xserve Diagnostics User Guide in the
Documentation folder on the Admin Tools disc.
