Step Symptom/Condition

6Cannot read SEL from the system console.

7OS is non-responsive (hung)

Action

SEL logging has stopped (health is steady green and power is steady green).

1.Examine console messages for any UEFI errors or warnings about operation or communications.

This issue is fixed when the SEL resumes logging.

Front panel LEDs indicate that the server blade power is turned on, and it is either booting or running the OS (for example, health is steady green and power is steady green).

Nothing can be logged for this condition.

1.Use the iLO 3 MP Command Menu to initial a ToC, using the tc command.

2.Reboot the OS and escalate.
