Before you can run Server Diagnostics, you must set up your

testing environment and install Server Diagnostics.

Make sure you meet Server Diagnostics requirements before attempting setup

and installation. For information, see “Requirements” on page 9.

Server Diagnostics EFI is preinstalled on the server. The instructions in this chapter

show you how to install Server Diagnostics in a dierent location or set up

a NetBoot server.

Setting Up a Storage Device for Server Diagnostics

Installation

To set up an internal volume or portable storage device for Server Diagnostics

installation, you need at least 100 MB of available space for Server Diagnostics EFI

or at least 10 GB of available space for Server Diagnostics Mac OS X, which requires

installing Mac OS X Server. These requirements are described in detail in “Storage

Device Requirements” on page 9.

If you’re installing Server Diagnostics Mac OS X on a volume, the storage device should

use the GUID Partition Table partition map scheme.

To view the storage device’s partition map scheme, open Disk Utility and select the

storage device. Make sure you select the storage device and not a volume within the

storage device.

At the bottom of the Disk Utility window, Partition Map Scheme should be GUID

Partition Table.

To repartition an in-use storage device, run Disk Utility from the Mac OS X Install DVD

or the Mac OS X Server Install DVD or run Disk Utility while your server is connected to

another computer and is in target disk mode. These methods erase the contents of

your server’s hard disk and require you to reinstall and recongure Mac OS X Server.
