How to collect logs for troubleshooting of a task sequence execution?

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

• /Library/Logs/pmm_tswizard.log
• /var/log/system.log
• /Library/Logs/DiagnosticReports. This location may (or may not) contain crash reports. Search for the reports with “pmm” or “pma” at the beginning of their names.

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

3. Problem report from the computer running Parallels NetBoot server

How to collect logs when a problem occurs AFTER OS X image deployment (Parallels Mac Client is NOT installed)

1. Log files on the Mac

  All available log files, which names begin with “pmm” or “pma” in /Library/Logs, including (but not limited to):

  • /Library/Logs/pmm_launchd_helper.log
  • /Library/Logs/pmm_ts_executor.log
  • /Library/Logs/pmm_tswizard.log
