Save As Saves the SEL data to a file, with the .sel file name extension,
either in interpreted text format or in raw hex format, depending on
the mode in which records are currently displayed. The interpreted
text format files contain the SEL properties in the first lines followed
by a blank line and the column headings. The SEL file format is
specified as an ASCII-readable file, with each field delimited to a
TAB and each system event ending with a carriage return/line feed.
The columns might not line up to allow for this file to be opened by
programs such as Microsoft Excel. The raw hex format files also
contain the SEL properties in the first lines followed by a blank line.
These files contain the SEL records in raw hexadecimal format, as
read from the server. This SEL file format is specified as an ASCII-
readable file, with each system event ending with a carriage
return/line feed.
Exit This option allows the user to exit the utility.
Pull-Down Menu – SEL
The SEL pull-down menu includes options for reloading SEL entries from the
server, clearing the SEL entries, viewing SEL properties, and sorting the entries
by different column fields. These options are further described in the table below.
Table 10-12. SEL Menu Options
Option Description
Reload This option allows the user to reload the SEL entries from the
server. This operation is similar to the one performed when the
SEL Viewer is first invoked. The records are displayed either in the
hex format or in the interpreted format, depending on the set display
mode. The status box shown in Figure 19 is displayed to indicate
that the SEL Viewer is loading SEL records from the server, and the
message shown in Figure 21 is displayed if the SEL is empty.
Properties This option allows the user to view the SEL properties: IPMI
version, Number of Entries, Last Add Time, Last Erase Time, and
Free Space Remaining. If the SEL is full, the following warning
message is displayed: Warning: System Event Log is
FULL
.
Clear SEL This option clears the SEL entries from the non-volatile storage area
of the server as well as the entries from the main window table. A
dialog message prompts the user for the confirmation of clearing the
SEL.
