Error
logs
The
POST
error
log
contains
the
three
most
recent
error
codes
and
messages
that
were
generated
during
POST.
The
BMC
system
event
log
contains
monitored
events,
such
as
a
threshold
that
is
reached
or
a
device
that
fails.
The
system
event/error
log,
which
is
available
only
when
an
optional
Remote
Supervisor
Adapter
II
SlimLine
is
installed,
contains
messages
that
were
generated
during
POST
and
all
system
status
messages
from
the
service
processor.
The
following
illustration
shows
an
example
of
a
BMC
log
entry.

The
BMC
system
event
log
is
limited
in
size.
When
the
log
is
full,
new
entries
will
not
overwrite
existing
entries;
therefore,
you
must
periodically
clear
the
BMC
system
event
log
through
the
Configuration/Setup
Utility
program
(the
menu
choices
are
described
in
the
User’s
Guide
).
When
you
are
troubleshooting
an
error,
be
sure
to
clear
the
BMC
system
event
log
so
that
you
can
find
current
errors
more
easily.
Entries
that
are
written
to
the
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
appears
on
its
own
page.
To
move
from
one
entry
to
the
next,
use
the
up-arrow
and
down-arrow
keys.
If
you
view
the
BMC
system
event
log
through
the
Web
interface
of
the
optional
Remote
Supervisor
Adapter
II
SlimLine,
the
messages
can
be
translated.
You
can
view
the
contents
of
the
POST
error
log,
the
BMC
system
event
log,
and
the
system
event/error
log
from
the
Configuration/Setup
Utility
program.
You
can
view
the
contents
of
the
BMC
system
event
log
also
from
the
diagnostic
programs.
When
you
are
troubleshooting
PCI-X
slots,
note
that
the
error
logs
report
the
PCI-X
buses
numerically.
The
numerical
assignments
vary
depending
on
the
configuration.
You
can
check
the
assignments
by
running
the
Configuration/Setup
Utility
program
(see
the
User’s
Guide
for
more
information).
