• 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
about DSA and DSA messages, see
diagnostic test results" on page
Viewing event logs through the Setup utility

Viewing event logs without restarting the server
Use this information to view the 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. To install DSA Portable or check for and download a later version of DSA Preboot CD
image, go to https://support.lenovo.com/us/ en/documents/LNVO-DSA
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
www.ibm.com/developerworks/linux/blueprints/
(IPMI) on Lenovo Linux platforms.
You can view the IMM event log through the Event Log link in the integrated management module II (IMM2)
Web interface. For more information, see
The following table describes the methods that you can use to view the event logs, depending on the
