operating-system event logs. You can view the DSA event log through the DSA
program (see “Viewing event logs without restarting the server”). For more
information about DSA and DSA messages, see “IBM Dynamic System Analysis”
on page 80 and “DSA messages” on page 82.
Viewing event logs through the Setup utility
To view the POST event log or system-event log, complete the following steps:
1.
Turn on the server.

Viewing event logs without restarting the server
If the server is not hung and the IMM is connected to a network, methods are
available for you to view one or more event logs without having to restart the
server.
If you have installed Dynamic System Analysis (DSA) Portable, you can use it to
view the system-event log (as the IPMI event log), or the IMM event log (as the
ASM event log), the operating-system event logs, or the merged DSA log. You can
also use DSA Preboot to view these logs, although you must restart the server to
use DSA Preboot. The server comes with DSA Preboot stored in integrated USB
memory. To install DSA Portable or check for and download a later version of DSA
Preboot CD image, go to http://www-947.ibm.com/systems/support/
supportsite.wss/docdisplay?lndocid=SERV-DSA&brandind=5000008.
If IPMItool is installed in the server, you can use it to view the system-event log.
Most recent versions of the Linux operating system come with a current version of
IPMItool. For an overview of IPMI, go to http://www.ibm.com/developerwork/
linux/blueprints/ and click
Using Intelligent Platform Management Interface
(IPMI) on IBM Linux platforms
.
You can view the IMM event log through the
Event Log
link in the integrated
management module (IMM) Web interface. For more information, see “Logging on
to the Web interface” on page 413.
The following table describes the methods that you can use to view the event logs,
depending on the condition of the server. The first three conditions generally do
not require that you restart the server.
