Installing AXD Mac OS X Tools
Before you install AXD Mac OS X tools, make sure that your storage device uses the
GUID Partition Table partition scheme and that it has an empty volume with 6 GB of
available space. For more information, see “Setting Up a Storage Device for AXD Tool
Installation” on page 9.
If you’re performing this task to install AXD Mac OS X tools on an internal volume on
the Xserve, you’ll need admin access to the Xserve. If you’re performing this task to
install AXD Mac OS X tools on a portable storage device, you can use any computer
that you have admin access to.
Installing AXD Mac OS X tools involves three major steps:
 Install Mac OS X Server with minimal options selected
 Copy AXD Mac OS X tools from the Mac OS X Server Administration Tools disc to
/Applications
 Configure Mac OS X Server
By dedicating a minimal installation of Mac OS X Server for use with AXD Mac OS X
tools, you reduce the risk of server processes interrupting AXD testing.
To install AXD Mac OS X tools:
1
Insert the Mac OS X Server Install disc.
2
Open the Install Mac OS X Server application, click Restart, and authenticate, if
requested.
The computer restarts and loads the Mac OS X Server Installer.
3
Continue through the Installer until you reach the Select Destination step.
4
Select a volume that’s at least 6 GB. If the volume isn’t empty, click Options, select
“Erase and Install,” and then click OK. Click Continue.
5
In Installation Type, click Customize, deselect all checkboxes, and then click Install.
If the volume is very close to 6 GB in size, the Installer might automatically load the
Customize list.
