Errors and Reading Error Logs
The information provided by error logs is useful for troubleshooting HP Integrity rx3600 server
faults and failures.
faults and failures.
Event Log Definitions
The cause of an MCA event can be captured by system or BMC firmware in both the System
Event Log (SEL) and Forward Progress Log ( FP). Match these errors with MCA events using
their timestamps. For example, the loss of a CPU VRM causes a CPU fault. The MCA log does
not provide definitive diagnosis of the problem. Following are features and limitations of events
and event logs:

not provide definitive diagnosis of the problem. Following are features and limitations of events
and event logs:
•
Event logs are the equivalent of chassis logs for status or error information output.
•
Symbolic names are used in the source code; for example, MC_CACHE_CHECK
•
The hex code for each event log is 128 bits long with an architected format:
— Some enumerated fields can be mapped to defined text strings.
— All fields can be displayed in hex, keyword, or text mode.
— Some enumerated fields can be mapped to defined text strings.
— All fields can be displayed in hex, keyword, or text mode.
•
Events are created by firmware or OS code and are sent over the PDH bus to the BMC for
storage in either or both of the SEL and FP logs.

over the IPMB.
•
Event logs can also be read back over the PDH bus by software for storage on disk.
Using Event Logs
To access the event logs, follow these steps:
1.
Connect to the system console.
2.
Enter Control-B to access the MP Main Menu.
3.
Enter the sl command to view event logs.
Accessing iLO 2 MP Event Logs
The iLO 2 MP provides diagnostic and configuration capabilities. See the HP Integrity Integrated
Lights-Out 2 Management Processor Operations Guide for details on iLO 2 MP commands.
