The RMM system event log is limited in size. When the log is full, new entries will not overwrite existing
entries; therefore, you must periodically clear the RMM system event log through the Server Configuration
and Boot Management program. When you are troubleshooting an error, be sure to clear the RMM system
event log so that you can find current errors more easily.
Entries that are written to the RMM system event log during the early phase of POST show an incorrect date
and time as the default time stamp; however, the date and time are corrected as POST continues.
Each system event/error log entry appears on its own page. To move from one entry to the next, use the
up-arrow and down-arrow keys.
If you view the RMM system event log through the Web interface of the optional virtual media key, the
messages can be translated.
You can view the contents of the POST error log, the RMM system event log, and the system event/error
log from the Server Configuration and Boot Management program. You can view the contents of the RMM
system event log also from the diagnostic programs.
When you are troubleshooting PCI slots, note that the error logs report the PCI buses numerically. The
numerical assignments vary depending on the configuration. You can check the assignments by running
the Server Configuration and Boot Management program (see the Installation and Users Guide for more
information).
Viewing error logs from the Server Configuration and Boot Management program
