Integrated Management Log

On servers supporting the Integrated Management Display, Compaq Integrated Management Log (IML) replaces the Critical Error Log and Correctable Memory Logs. It records system events and stores them in an easily viewable form. It marks each event with a time-stamp with one-minute granularity.

Events listed in the Integrated Management Log are categorized as one of four event severity levels:

Status - indicates that the message is informational only.

Repaired - indicates that corrective action has been taken.

Caution - indicates a non-fatal error condition.

Critical - indicates a component failure.

The Integrated Management Log requires Compaq Operating System-dependent drivers. Refer to the Compaq Support Software CD for instructions on installing the appropriate drivers.

Multiple Ways of Viewing the Log

You can view an event in the IML in several ways:

On the Integrated Management Display

From within Compaq Insight Manager

From within Compaq Survey Utility

From within IML Management Utility

Integrated Management Display

The Integrated Management Display is a Liquid Crystal Display (LCD) panel that presents information directly at the server, assisting in diagnosing and servicing the server without a keyboard and monitor.

Compaq Insight Manager

Compaq Insight Manager is a server management tool providing in-depth fault configuration and performance monitoring of hundreds of Compaq servers from a single management console. System parameters that are monitored describe the status of all key server components. By being able to view the events that may occur to these components, you can take immediate action. You can view and print the event list from within Compaq Insight Manager by following the instructions that follow. You can also mark a critical or caution event as repaired after the affected component has been replaced. For example, when a fan that has failed has been replaced. By marking as repaired, you can lower the severity of the event.
