Integrated Management Log (IML)
The Integrated Management Log (IML) records system events and stores them
in an easily viewable form.
In contrast to the 16-event capacity of the critical and correctable error logs,
the IML records hundreds of events. In addition, the IML time stamp for each
recorded event features one-minute granularity, as opposed to the one-hour
granularity of previous logs.
Events listed in the IML are categorized as one of four event severity levels:
■
Status—indicates that the message is informational only
■
Repaired—indicates that corrective action has been taken
■
Caution—indicates a nonfatal error condition
■
Critical—indicates a component failure
The Integrated Management Log requires Compaq-specific device drivers. For
instructions on installing the appropriate drivers, see “Installing an Operating
System,” earlier in this chapter.
Multiple Ways of Viewing the Log
You can view an event in the IML in several ways:
■
From within Compaq Insight Manager
■
From within Compaq Survey Utility
■
Using the IML Management Utility, an operating system-specific
program located on the SmartStart CD.
Compaq Insight Manager
Compaq Insight Manager is a server management tool that provides in-depth
fault, configuration, and performance monitoring of hundreds of Compaq
servers from a single management console. Monitored system parameters
describe the status of all key server components. The ability to view events
occurring to these components allows you to take immediate action.
You can view and print the event list from within Compaq Insight Manager by
following the instructions below. You can also mark a critical or caution event
as repaired after the affected component has been replaced; for example, if a
