If the Tandberg TDtool diagnostic application is not yet installed, download and extract it to a temporary directory:
mkdir -p /esupport/tandberg && cd /esupport/tandberg wget http://www.tandbergdata.com/default/assets/File/Downloads/tdtoollinux64.tar.gz tar xzvf tdtoollinux64.tar.gz
To run the diagnostics, first log in to a graphical session (via VNC, DRAC or locally at the console).
Launch a terminal, and then launch the diagnostics:
cd /esupport/tandberg ./tdtool.sh
