Error logs

The server generates three error logs:

vPOST error log

This log contains the three most recent error codes and messages that were generated during POST.

vSystem-event/error log

This log contains messages that were generated during POST and all system status messages from the service processor.

vBMC system event log

This log contains messages that were generated by the mini-BMC controller.

The system event/error log and mini-BMC system event log are limited in size. When these logs are full, new entries will not overwrite existing entries; therefore, you must periodically clear them through the Configuration/Setup Utility program (the menu choices are described in the User Guide). When you are troubleshooting an error, be sure to clear both logs so that you can find current errors more easily.

Important: After you complete a repair or correct an error, clear the mini-BMC system-event log to turn off the system-error LED on the front of the server.

Entries that are written to the system-event/error log and mini-BMC system event log during the early phase of POST show an incorrect date and time as the default time stamp; however, the date and time are corrected as POST continues.

Each system-event/error log entry is displayed on its own page. To move from one entry to the next, use the Up Arrow (↑) and Down Arrow (↓) keys.

You can view the contents of the POST error log and the system-event/error log from the Configuration/Setup Utility program. You can view the contents of the Diagnostics error log from the diagnostic programs on the Diagnostics CD. For more information about the diagnostic programs, see “Diagnostic programs and messages” on page 163.
