Error logs

The power-on self-test (POST), the hypervisor, and the service processor write errors to the BladeCenter® management module event log.

Select the Monitors > Event Log option in the management module Web interface to view entries that are currently stored in the management-module event log. This log includes entries for events that are detected by the blade servers. The log displays the most recent entries first.

The following table shows the syntax of a nine-word B700xxxx SRC as it might be displayed in the event log of the management module.

The first word of the SRC in this example is the message identifier, B7001111. This example numbers each word after the first word to show relative word positions. The seventh word is the direct select address, which is 77777777 in the example.
