Integrated Management Log

On servers supporting the Integrated Management Display, the Compaq Integrated Management Log (IML) replaces the Critical Error Log and Correctable Memory Logs. IML records system events and stores them in an easily viewable form. Each event is marked 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 nonfatal 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.

Refer to the setup and installation guide that came with the server or the Integrated Management Display User Guide provided with the Integrated Management Display option kit.

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 the Compaq Survey Utility

■From within the IML Management Utility

Integrated Management Display

The Integrated Management Display is an 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 comprehensive management tool to monitor and control the operation of Compaq servers and clients. Compaq Insight Manager consists of two components:

aWindows-based console application, and server- or client-based management data collection agents. Starting with Compaq Insight Manager 4.0, the agents for Windows NT and NetWare are also Web-enhanced; that is, these agents enable Web browser access and monitoring of management information.

The management agents monitor over 1,000 management parameters. Key subsystems are instrumented to make health, configuration, and performance data available to agent software. Agents act upon data by initiating information, such as network interface or storage subsystem performance statistics.
