you correct the cause of the first error message, the other error messages usually will not occur the next time you run the test. v The management-module event log in your BladeCenter unit lists messages according to the position of the blade workstation in the blade bays. If a blade workstation is moved from one bay to another, the management-module event log will report messages for that blade workstation using the new bay number; messages for that blade workstation that were generated before the move will still be listed using the previous bay number. The BMC log is limited in size. When the log is full, new entries will not overwrite existing entries; therefore, you must periodically clear the BMC log through the Configuration/Setup Utility program (the menu choices are described in the Installation and User's Guide.) When you are troubleshooting an error, be sure to clear the BMC log so that you can find current errors more easily. Entries that are written to the BMC log during the early phase of POST show an incorrect date and time as the default time stamp; however, the date and time are corrected as POST continues. Each BMC log entry appears on its own page. To display all the data for an entry, use the Up Arrow (↑) and Down Arrow (↓) keys or the Page Up and Page Down keys. To move from one entry to the next, select Get Next Entry or Get Previous Entry. The BMC log indicates an assertion event when an event has occurred. It indicates a deassertion event when the event is no longer occurring. Some of the error codes and messages in the BMC log are abbreviated. You can view the contents of the BMC log from the Configuration/Setup Utility program and from the diagnostic programs. When you are troubleshooting I/O slots, note that the error logs report the buses numerically. The numerical assignments vary depending on the configuration. You can check the assignments by running the Configuration/Setup Utility program (see the Installation and User's Guide for more information). Viewing the BMC log from the Configuration/Setup Utility program For complete information about using the Configuration/Setup Utility program, see the Installation and User's Guide. To view the BMC log, complete the following steps: 1. Turn on the blade workstation. 2. When the prompt Press F1 for Configuration/Setup appears, press F1. If you have set a power-on password, you must type the password and press Enter to start the Configuration/Setup Utility program. 3. Select Advanced Settings → Baseboard Management Controller (BMC) settings → BMC System Event Log. 52 BladeCenter HC10 Type 7996: Problem Determination and Service Guide
