Viewing the Test Log
By default, the diagnostic software keeps the log file in efi\service\diagnostics\fielddiags.log.
To view this file, use the arrow keys to highlight the Platform Test menu. Select View Results,
and press the <Enter> key. You will see a scrollable information box that contains the sessions test
log. Because the log file is a Unicode file, you can also view it in the EFI shell by using the type -u
command, and in the Windows operating system using the Notepad application.
Test results are appended to the previous log file. To clear the log file select the Clear log button
in the View Results window. Because the log file is always appended, you should clear the file
regularly to keep it from getting too large.
EFI Service Partition
The EFI Service Partition provides the ability to remotely access a server running EFI, via modem
or LAN. This provides a way to execute configuration/setup utilities, and run remote diagnostics
and other software designed to be compatible with this environment.
Service Partition Requirements
The SP may reside on any of the EFI-recognized physical drives. Drives not supported by EFI
cannot be used for a service partition or EFI System Partition. An EFI System Partition cannot be
installed on legacy MBR disks. The disk must be formatted as a GPT (GUID Partition Table) disk.
The SP requires at least 65 MB free on the chosen EFI System Partition and for proper operation,
there must be only one set of service partition files present.
Installing Service Partition Files
The service partition on an Intel Itanium 2-based platform is part of the EFI System Partition. This
partition is not a separate, dedicated partition as is its functional counterpart on an IA-32 platform.
The presence of service partition files within the existing system partition defines the EFI Service
Partition.
The service partition is established when the installation program copies service partition files into
the existing system partition. These files include utilities, diagnostics, and other software required
for remote management. You can run the utilities and diagnostics located on the service partition
either locally or remotely, but in order to run the utilities and diagnostics, you must boot the server
from the partition. Applications that execute in the service partition run only on the managed
server.
