54 CHAPTER 5. USAGE
5.5.8.3 Power Control
If IPMI is enabled, these functions are performed over IPMI requests. These requests may take
a few seconds.
If IPMI is disabled, the power control functions (power on, power off, reset) are performed over
the internal or external power control options.
5.5.8.4 Event Log via IPMI
The Event Log via IPMI accesses the SEL (System Event Log) repository and reads every
entry sequentially. The first time you use this function after starting RAS-PutIn the complete
repository has to be read, what may take 1 or 2 minutes.
Figure 5.26: IPMI Event Log
When all entries have been read, RAS-PutIn displays the entries with their time, sensor and
description in accordance with the filter settings. You have the choice between several pre-
settings (i.e. last day, last week) or an exact declaration of the start and the end date.
Once you changed the filter settings, click on ‘Update’ in order to update the shown entries (see
Figure
5.26 ). If the checkbox ‘Get sensor names’ is checked all sensor IDs will be shown with
their respective names.
The time that is shown in the log entries is the SEL time, which means that this time is
independent to the system time. The actual SEL time is shown at the top of the log table.
With the button ‘Clear Event Log’ you can delete all entries in the SEL repository.
5.5.8.5 Status via IPMI
The Status via IPMI function shows the current values and the min/max-thresholds of all fans,
temperatures and voltages existing in the host system. An example of such an IPMI panel is
shown in Figure
5.27 on the facing page. You can change the thresholds by editing the according
values and pressing ’Apply’.
The first time you call this page, it may take up to two minutes until the sensor data will be
shown.
Note:
If IPMI is disabled, Status via IPMI and System Log via IPMI are not available (the
corresponding menu options are not visible).
