problem running xrdiags

[mjm4]

Yes, you may assume I don’t know what I’m doing.

Created the xrdiags boot disk per http://homepage.mac.com/javaist/Server/xrdiags.html using 1.0.4

Put G5 Xserve on same subnet as my G4. Set G4 for DHCP.

Booted G5 Xserve successfully. It’s currently “Searching for Xserve Remote Diagnostics service”.

Started xrdiags -t on the G4. I’m getting “Waiting for systems that have initiated testing…”
I also tried “xrdiags -user -remote | ” from the Using Xserve Remote Diagnostics doc. But, I get a connection error.

I can ping the server.

So, what should I be looking for to figure out why they don’t find each other?

Thanks.

Looks like I get to reply to my own post.

I was able to get xrdiags to work by starting it up on my G4 with the xrdiags -user -remote command and then rebooting the Xserve on the CD. For whatever reason the two machines saw each other and the tests took off.

I don’t know if xrdiags -t would have worked, but I suspect it would’ve.
