Viewing event logs without restarting the server
Use this information to learn how to view event logs without restarting the server.
About this task
If the server is not hung and the IMM is connected to a network, methods are
available for you to view one or more event logs without having to restart the
server.
If you have installed Dynamic System Analysis (DSA) Portable, you can use it to
view the system-event log (as the IPMI event log), or the IMM event log (as the
ASM event log), the operating-system event logs, or the merged DSA log. You can
also use DSA Preboot to view these logs, although you must restart the server to
use DSA Preboot. The server comes with DSA Preboot stored in integrated USB
memory. To install DSA Portable or check for and download a later version of DSA
Preboot CD image, go to http://www.ibm.com/support/entry/portal/
docdisplay?lndocid=SERV-DSA.
Results
If IPMItool is installed in the server, you can use it to view the system-event log.
Most recent versions of the Linux operating system come with a current version of
IPMItool.
You can view the IMM event log through the Event Log link in the integrated
management module (IMM) web interface. For more information, see “Logging on
to the IMM web interface” on page 141.
The following table describes the methods that you can use to view the event logs,
depending on the condition of the server. The first three conditions generally do
not require that you restart the server.
Table 37. Methods for viewing event logs
Condition Action
The server is not hung and is connected to a
network (using an operating system
controlled network ports).
Use any of the following methods:
v
Run DSA Portable to view the diagnostic
event log (requires IPMI driver) or create
an output file that you can send to IBM
service and support (using ftp or local
copy).
v
Use IPMItool to view the system-event log
(requires IPMI driver).
v Use the web browser interface to the IMM
to view the system-event log locally
(requires RNDIS USB LAN driver).
