Chapter 1. Introduction
When attempting to resolve issues with your solution, the best practice is to begin with the event log of the
application that is managing the solution:
• If you are managing the solution from the Lenovo XClarity Administrator, begin with the Lenovo XClarity
Administrator event log.
• If you are using some other management application, begin with the Lenovo XClarity Controller event log.
The event log contains solution hardware events that are recorded by the Lenovo XClarity Controller or by
UEFI. In addition, events can be generated when you perform diagnostic testing on hard drives or memory
through the Lenovo XClarity Provisioning Manager (although these events are not stored in the event log).
Use this section to view the events that can be generated by Lenovo XClarity Controller, UEFI, or the Lenovo
XClarity Provisioning Manager. For each event, a user action is available to help you understand what must
be done to resolve the issue.
