Error logs

The server generates three error logs:

v POST error log

This log contains the three most recent error codes and messages that were

generated during POST.

v System-event/error log

This log contains messages that were generated during POST and all system

status messages from the service processor.

v BMC system event log

This log contains messages that were generated by the mini-BMC controller.

The system event/error log and mini-BMC system event log are limited in size.

When these logs are full, new entries will not overwrite existing entries; therefore,

you must periodically clear them through the Configuration/Setup Utility program

(the menu choices are described in the User Guide). When you are troubleshooting

an error, be sure to clear both logs so that you can find current errors more easily.

Important: After you complete a repair or correct an error, clear the mini-BMC

system-event log to turn off the system-error LED on the front of the server.

Entries that are written to the system-event/error log and mini-BMC system event

log during the early phase of POST show an incorrect date and time as the default

time stamp; however, the date and time are corrected as POST continues.

Each system-event/error log entry is displayed on its own page. To move from one

entry to the next, use the Up Arrow (↑) and Down Arrow (↓) keys.

You can view the contents of the POST error log and the system-event/error log

from the Configuration/Setup Utility program. You can view the contents of the

Diagnostics error log from the diagnostic programs on the Diagnostics CD. For

more information about the diagnostic programs, see “Diagnostic programs and

messages” on page 163.

Viewing error logs from the Configuration/Setup Utility program

the User Guide.

To view the error logs from the Configuration/Setup Utility program, complete the

following steps:

1. Turn on the computer.

2. When the prompt Press F1 for Configuration/Setup is displayed, press F1.

3. Use one of the following procedures:

v To view the POST error log and system-event/error log, select Event/Error

Management Controller (BMC) Setting → BMC System Event Log.

Viewing the mini-BMC system-event log from the diagnostic

programs

The BMC system-event log that is generated by the mini-BMC controller contains

the same information, whether it is viewed from the Configuration/Setup Utility

program or from the diagnostic programs.
