Local and Remote Requirements
To run Server Diagnostics locally on the server, you need to connect a keyboard,
mouse, and display.
To run Server Diagnostics remotely, you need the following:
A Macintosh computer with Mac OS X v10.6 or later installed. This computer is Â
referred to as the host computer.
A server with Mac OS X Server v10.6 or later installed. This server is referred to as Â
the client server.
A network connection with DHCP active or a direct Ethernet connection from the Â
host computer to the client server.
The client server must have Server Diagnostics installed on an internal volume or on Â
a connected portable storage device; or it must be able to run Server Diagnostics
from a NetBoot server.
The host computer must run Server Diagnostics Mac OS X. The client server can run Â
Server Diagnostics EFI or Server Diagnostics Mac OS X.
If the client server is running Server Diagnostics Mac OS X, you must be able to Â
log in to the root account. The root account gives a system administrator complete
access to the server.
NetBoot Server Requirements
To host Server Diagnostics EFI on a NetBoot server, your NetBoot server must:
Have Mac OS X Server v10.5 (10.5.8 or later recommended) or Mac OS X Server v10.6 Â
(10.6.4 or later recommended) installed.
Be on the same subnet as the server being tested. Â
Have 100 MB of hard disk space available for a Server Diagnostics NetBoot image. Â
