1.5 Using Novell Support Advisor
1.5.1 Analyze
To analyze a server you first select a server that you have previously added and click analyze.
Depending on the type and subtype of connection created, Novell Support Advisor will attempt to
connect and collect data from the specified device.
If Novell Support Advisor is able to successfully connect to and gather information from the
connection specified, a message will appear indicating the it has successfully validated the
connection and will move on to the data collection process.
During the data collection process a progress bar will indicate the overall progress of the data
collection process. Depending on your network, the connection type, and the server being analyzed
this collection time can vary greatly. If for some reason the data collection appears to have stopped
and looks like it won't complete you can cancel the process.
Upon data collection completion, communication with the target system is closed and the rest of the
processing occurs on your local machine.
