Viewing the Ipmi System Event Log

To view the System Event Log (SEL), use IPMItool.

The out-of-band command is:

#ipmitool -I lan -H spipaddr -P ipmipasswd sel list

The in-band command (using OpenIPMI on a Linux-based server or LIPMI on a Solaris-based server) is:

#ipmitool -I open sel list

Note – To receive more verbose logging messages, you can run the following command:

#ssh -l spuser spipaddr sp get events

Clearing the IPMI System Event Log

You can use commands to clear the contents of the IPMI SEL.

Use one of the following commands, depending on your OS: ■ For Linux: ipmitool -I open sel clear

■ For Solaris: ipmitool -I lipmi sel clear
