Integrated Management Log
The IML records hundreds of events and stores them in an easy-to-view form. The IML timestamps each event
with 1-minute granularity.
You can view recorded events in the IML in several ways, including the following:
From within HP SIM
From within Survey Utility
From within operating system-specific IML viewers
o
For NetWare: IML Viewer (does not apply to HP ProLiant DL980 Servers)
o
For Windows®: IML Viewer
o
For Linux: IML Viewer Application
From within the iLO 3 user interface
From within HP Insight Diagnostics (on page
77
)
For more information, see the Management CD or DVD in the HP Insight Foundation suite for ProLiant.
Array diagnostic software
Determine the version of SmartStart supported by the server and choose one of the following array diagnostic
methods:
For servers that support SmartStart 8.25 or later, array diagnostic capability is part of the ACU
software. For more information, see "Array configuration utility (on page
72
)."
For servers that support SmartStart 8.2 or earlier, the Array Diagnostic Utility is a separate utility.
The HP Array Diagnostics Utility is a web-based application that creates a report of all HP storage
controllers and disk drives. This report provides vital information to assist in identifying faults or
conditions that may require attention. ADU can be accessed from the SmartStart CD ("
SmartStart
