Using AXD Tools
The following table describes the three modes:
Mode
Description
Automatically enters mode if
Host
The computer searches for
Xserve computers that are on
the same subnet and start AXD
tools in remote mode. When
one is found, the host computer
controls AXD tools on the client
Xserve.
You run AXD Mac OS X tools
and either:
Â
The computer isn’t an Intel-
based Xserve
Â
You’re not logged in as root
Client
The Xserve can be controlled by
a host computer.
You’re running AXD EFI tools
and a host computer is on
the same subnet or is directly
connected.
Local
The Xserve runs all tests locally.
You’re running AXD EFI tools
and a host computer isn’t on the
same subnet and isn’t directly
connected.
If you’re logged in as root on an Intel-based Xserve, and then you run AXD Mac OS X
tools, you can choose which mode to enter.
