Event logs

Error codes and messages are displayed in POST event log, system-event log,
integrated management module (IMM2) event log, and DSA event log.
v POST event log: This log contains the most recent error codes and messages
that were generated during POST. You can view the contents of the POST event
log from the Setup utility (see "Starting the Setup utility" on page 98). For more
information about POST error codes, see Appendix B, "UEFI/POST diagnostic
codes," on page 501.
v System-event log: This log contains POST and system management interrupt
(SMI) events and all events that are generated by the baseboard management
controller that is embedded in the integrated management module (IMM). You
can view the contents of the system-event log through the Setup utility and
through the Dynamic System Analysis (DSA) program (as IPMI event log).
The system-event log is limited in size. When it is full, new entries will not
overwrite existing entries; therefore, you must periodically clear the
system-event log through the Setup utility. When you are troubleshooting an
error, you might have to save and then clear the system-event log to make the
most recent events available for analysis. For more information about the
system-event log, see Appendix A, "Integrated management module II (IMM2)
error messages," on page 327.
Messages are listed on the left side of the screen, and details about the selected
message are displayed on the right side of the screen. To move from one entry
to the next, use the Up Arrow (↑) and Down Arrow (↓) keys.
Some IMM sensors cause assertion events to be logged when their setpoints are
reached. When a setpoint condition no longer exists, a corresponding deassertion
event is logged. However, not all events are assertion-type events.
v Integrated management module II (IMM2) event log: This log contains a
filtered subset of all IMM, POST, and system management interrupt (SMI)
events. You can view the IMM event log through the IMM web interface. For
more information, see "Logging on to the web interface" on page 108. You can
also view the IMM event log through the Dynamic System Analysis (DSA)
program (as the ASM event log). For more information about IMM error
messages, see Appendix A, "Integrated management module II (IMM2) error
messages," on page 327.
v DSA event log: This log is generated by the Dynamic System Analysis (DSA)
program, and it is a chronologically ordered merge of the system-event log (as
the IPMI event log), the IMM chassis-event log (as the ASM event log), and the
operating-system event logs. You can view the DSA event log through the DSA
program (see "Viewing event logs without restarting the server" on page 134).
For more information about DSA and DSA messages, see "IBM Dynamic System
Analysis" on page 136 and Appendix C, "DSA diagnostic test results," on page
515.
