Viewing Saved Logs

When you start up Server Diagnostics EFI from a volume in MS-DOS (FAT) format, it creates a log of its test results in the /AppleServerDiagnosticsLogs/ folder of the volume with Server Diagnostics EFI installed.

This log is updated as tests complete. If the server crashes during tests, review the log to see which test it crashed on.

If you run the preinstalled Server Diagnostics EFI or Server Diagnostics EFI from the Admin Tools disc, or a NetBoot disc image, logs aren’t saved.

The logs are named AppleServerDiagnostics_date_time_serialnumber.txt.

The date and time indicate when Server Diagnostics EFI started up. The time is in Greenwich Mean Time (GMT), using a 24-hour format.

The values use this format:
