Using The Ssu To Manage Logs, Records, Hardware, And Events - Sun Microsystems Sun Fire V60x Manual

4.11.2.2 Using the SSU to Manage Logs, Records, Hardware, and
Events
The System Setup Utility (SSU) allows you to manage the following:
System Event Log (SEL)
■
Sensor Data Records (SDR)
■
Field Replaceable Units (FRU)
■
Platform Events
■
Managing the System Event Log
The server maintains a system event log (SEL) in non-volatile memory, which holds
approximately 3200 SEL entries. The log can be viewed and cleared using the SSU.
To manage the log, double-click the SEL Manager menu item on the Available Tasks
pane of the main SSU window. The System Event Log appears, and you can use the
menu bar at the top of the log window to save the log, open a log, clear the log, or
reload the log.
The SEL can also be cleared if you select BIOS setup during bootup (choose <F2>)
and go into the Server menu. Choose Event Log Configuration > Clear All Event
Logs > Yes. Press the Esc key until you receive the prompt to exit setup. If you
choose to save your changes, the System Event Log will be cleared the next time you
boot.
In addition, the SEL is cleared automatically each time you run the Platform
Confidence Test (PCT). See "Run Platform Confidence Test (PCT)" on page 4-31 for
more details on the PCT.
Managing the Sensor Data Records
The Sensor Data Record (SDR) Manager allows you to view the current sensor data
for the system, save the SDR data to a file, and view SDR information previously
saved to a file. The SDR data is saved in standard SDR format. To manage the SDR
data, double-click the SDR Manager menu item on the Available Tasks pane of the
main SSU window. The SDR Manager main window appears, and you can use the
menu bar at the top of the window to manage SDR data.
