Shutdown
Subtabs: Remote Shutdown | Thermal Shutdown | Web Server Shutdown
Under the Shutdown tab, you can:
• Configure the operating system shutdown and remote shutdown options.
• Set the thermal shutdown severity level to shut down your system in the
event that a temperature sensor returns a warning or failure value.
NOTE: A thermal shutdown occurs only when the temperature reported by
the sensor goes above the temperature threshold. A thermal shutdown does
not occur when the temperature reported by the sensor goes below the
temperature threshold.
• Shut down the DSM SA Connection Service (Web server).
NOTE: Server Administrator is still available using the command line
interface (CLI) when the DSM SA Connection Service is shut down.
The CLI functions do not require the DSM SA Connection Service to
be running.
Logs
Subtabs: Hardware | Alert | Command
Under the Logs tab, you can:
• View the Embedded System Management (ESM) log or the System Event
Log (SEL) for a list of all events related to your system's hardware
components. The status indicator icon next to the log name changes from
normal status ( ) to noncritical status( ) when the log file reaches 80
percent capacity. On Dell PowerEdge
x9xx and xx1x systems, the status
indicator icon next to the log name changes to critical status ( ) when
the log file reaches 100 percent capacity.
NOTE: It is recommended that you clear the hardware log when it reaches
80 percent capacity. If the log is allowed to reach 100 percent capacity,
the latest events are discarded from the log.
• View the Alert log for a list of all events generated by the Server
Administrator Instrumentation Service in response to changes in the
status of sensors and other monitored parameters.
NOTE: See the Server Administrator Messages Reference Guide for a
complete explanation of each alert event ID's corresponding description,
severity level, and cause.
