Symptom Information
Before troubleshooting a server problem, collect the following information:
• What events preceded the failure? After which steps does the problem occur?
• What has been changed between the time the server was working and now?
• Did you recently add or remove hardware or software? If so, did you
remember to change the appropriate settings in the server setup utility, if
necessary?

To answer these questions, the following information may be useful:
