Marking IML Entries as Repaired
. .
. .
. .
System administrators can use the Compaq IML Viewer to mark IML entries as
. .
"Repaired" after physically repairing or replacing the failed component. For example, as
. .
. .
shown in Figure 2, the IML could contain the event "Network Adapter Link Down" with a
. .
severity level of "Caution." After verifying the jack, cable or adapter is working properly;
. .
. .
the administrator should use the utility to mark the event as "Repaired." This allows the
. .
administrator to keep an accurate record of all events that have occurred on the server.

Previously, the ability to mark a "Critical" or "Caution" IML entry as "Repaired" was only
. .
offered through Insight Manager. Today administrators have the option of using either
. .
. .
Insight Manager or the Compaq IML Viewer.

Features
Description
Allows users to save the IML as a file for viewing at a later date.
Allows users to remove all entries from the NVRAM on the system, thus
permanently clearing the IML.
Allows users to print out the IML entries currently being viewed. The utility
prints only the IML entries displayed on the screen; therefore, to print the
entire IML file, clear any filter settings before printing.
Allows users to recognize the pending alerts flashing on the system's IMD
when a new event is logged to the IML.
Allows users to use the features of the utility from a console.
