Tip: When selecting the Clear
option, the IML entries stored in
NVRAM are removed. Since the
IML and Insight Manager both
retrieve their information from
NVRAM, the data becomes
unavailable for both applications.

Clearing the IML
. .
. .
. .
The Compaq IML Viewer has the ability to clear all the entries from the IML. When the
. .
user chooses to clear the IML, the utility physically removes all IML entries from the
. .
. . NVRAM on the system. Since this action causes data loss, the utility prompts the user
. .
with a warning message as shown in Figure 4.
. .
. .
. .
Important: A user must logon with administrative privileges to use the "Clear all Entries" feature in the
. .
Compaq IML Viewer. Otherwise, this feature is grayed out and unavailable to the user.

Figure 4: Warning message appears when clearing the Integrated Management Log.
. .
. .
The user can choose to save, export or print the IML before clearing it. Compaq
. .
. . recommends choosing one of these options to ensure administrators have some
. .
mechanism of retrieving a historical record of the IML. Even though the utility uses these
. .
built-in safety features to protect the user, a user can elect to ignore the recommendation
. .
. .
and clear the log without saving any IML files by selecting the Clear button shown in
. .
Figure 4. For procedures on how to use the save, export or print features, refer to the
. .
. .
appropriate section within this document.
