If IPMItool is installed in the server, you can use it to view the system-event log.
Most recent versions of the Linux operating system come with a current version of
IPMItool.
You can view the IMM event log through the Event Log link in the integrated
management module (IMM) Web interface.
The following table describes the methods that you can use to view the event logs,
depending on the condition of the server. The first two conditions generally do not
require that you restart the server.
Table 16. Methods for viewing event logs
Condition Action
The server is not hung and is connected to a
network.
Use any of the following methods:
v Run Portable or Installable DSA to view
the event logs or create an output file that
you can send to service and support.
v Type the IP address of the IMM and go to
the Event Log page.
v Use IPMItool to view the system-event log.
The server is not hung and is not connected
to a network.
Use IPMItool locally to view the system-event
log.
The server is hung.
v If DSA Preboot is installed, restart the
server and press F2 to start DSA Preboot
and view the event logs.
v If DSA Preboot is not installed, insert the
DSA Preboot CD and restart the server to
start DSA Preboot and view the event
logs.
v Alternatively, you can restart the server
and press F1 to start the Setup Utility and
view the POST event log or system-event
log. For more information, see “Viewing
event logs through the Setup Utility” on
page 143.
System-event log
The system-event log contains messages of three types:
Information
Information messages do not require action; they record significant
system-level events, such as when the server is started.
Warning
Warning messages do not require immediate action; they indicate possible
problems, such as when the recommended maximum ambient temperature
is exceeded.
Error Error messages might require action; they indicate system errors, such as
when a fan is not detected.
Each message contains date and time information, and it indicates the source of
the message (POST or the IMM).
