Viewing and clearing the Integrated Management Log 6–51
6.6 Viewing and clearing the Integrated Management Log
6.6.1 Overview
The Integrated Management Log (IML) on each server contains information about hardware events,
including power-on self-test (POST) events, on that server.
When you enter the
show server server_name
command, the monitoring software counts the number
of
critical
and
caution
events for the previous 30 days and displays the total in the output from the
command. The
syscheck
command also reports critical (for
critical
events) or warning (for
caution
events) severity messages.
If there are any critical events (that is, the critical count is not zero), review the IML as described in
Section 6.6.2 and resolve all critical issues as soon as possible. A default email alert warns you if critical
events are present in the IML; see Section 6-4 for details.
6.6.2 Viewing the IML
You can use the
hplog
command to view the contents of the IML, as follows:
# ssh south2 hplog -v
Note the following points:
• It is common to see
POST
events related to the keyboard. You can ignore such events.
• Before the HP SFS software is installed on the server, the date and time are not set. These events,
which are
caution
events, can also be ignored.
• Investigate and resolve
critical
events as soon as possible.
6.6.3 Clearing the IML
When you are satisfied that the issues described by the events have been resolved, you can clear the IML.
You can clear the IML in two ways, as follows:
• Use the
hpasmcli
command as follows (on the server where you want to clear the log):
# hpasmcli -s "clear iml"
• Use the iLO browser interface. You can run Mozilla on the administration server and use a URL such
as http://south2-mp to connect to the iLO.
