How to collect logs when a problem occurs BEFORE or during OS X image deployment:

If a Mac is started from a NetBoot image, but OS X deployment fails, you can collect the following information to troubleshoot it:

1. Log files on the Mac

NOTE: If OS X is not installed properly on a Mac, these logs will be removed after the Mac is restarted. Therefore you should save copies of these logs on a flash drive or a network drive (you can use SSH, if it was enabled in the source OS X from which the NetBoot image was created).

2. Problem report from the computer running Parallels Configuration Manager Proxy
