Error logs Use this information as an example of a BMC error log. The BMC log contains all system status messages from the blade server service processor. The management-module event log in your BladeCenter unit contains messages that were generated on each blade server during POST and status messages from the BladeCenter service processor. (See the Management Module User's Guide for more information.) The following illustration shows an example of clearing a BMC log entry and viewing the results.

If a blade server is moved from one bay to another, the management-module event log will report messages for that blade server using the new bay number; messages for that blade server 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. To clear the BMC log entry, type Clear BMC SEL. 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. 76 BladeCenter HS12 Type 8014, 8028 or 1916: Problem Determination and Service Guide

Error logs
Use this information as an example of a BMC error log.
The BMC log contains all system status messages from the blade server service
processor. The management-module event log in your BladeCenter unit contains
messages that were generated on each blade server during POST and status
messages from the BladeCenter service processor. (See the
Management Module
User’s Guide
for more information.)
The following illustration shows an example of clearing a BMC log entry and
viewing the results.

v
A single problem might cause several error messages. When this occurs, work to
correct the cause of the first error message. After 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 server in the blade server bays. If a blade
server is moved from one bay to another, the management-module event log
will report messages for that blade server using the new bay number; messages
for that blade server 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. To clear the
BMC log entry, type
Clear BMC SEL
.
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.
