most recent events available for analysis. For more information about the
system-event log, see Appendix B, "Integrated management module II (IMM2)
error messages," on page 437.
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 (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 IMM web interface" on page 141. 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 B, "Integrated management module II (IMM2) error
messages," on page 437.
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 170).
For more information about DSA and DSA messages, see "IBM Dynamic System
Analysis" on page 173 and Appendix A, "DSA diagnostic test results," on page
301.
For more information about viewing the logs or clearing the logs, see "Viewing
event logs through the Setup utility," "Viewing event logs without restarting the
server" on page 170, and "Clearing the error logs" on page 172.
