HP Integrity iLO 3 Operations Guide

Each user viewing VFP is in private session mode.
See also: LOC (locator LED) and, SL (show logs).
CM (Command Mode): Enter command mode
CM switches the console terminal from the MP Main Menu to mirrored command interface mode.
The Command menu provides you with a set of standard command-line interface commands that
help monitor and manage the server.
To display the list of MP command mode commands:
1. From the MP Main Menu, enter CM.
2. Enter HE LI at the CM: hpiLO-> prompt.
To return to the MP Main Menu, press Ctrl-B.
CL Display console history
Command access level: Remote Console access for viewing the log. Configure MP Settings access
for clearing the log.
The CL command displays up to 256KB of logged console data (or about 250 pages of output)
sent from the system to the console path and stored for later analysis.
Console data is stored in a buffer in nonvolatile memory. By default, data is displayed from the
beginning of the buffer to the end of the buffer. You can control the starting point from which the
data displays and navigate through the data.
An image of the console history appears when you enter the CL command. Console output continues
to be logged while this buffer is read, and nothing is lost in the meantime.
The CL command does not support command line usage or scripting.

SL (Show Logs): Display the status logs
SL displays the contents of the status logs, System Event Log (SEL), Forward Progress Log (FPL),
and iLO Log. You can also run the status in live mode presenting each event as it is received.
NOTE: After entering the SL command, any subcommand you enter (such as SE log selection,
SL menu options) does not require entering <CR>. The only exception to this is when a log entry
number is requested. You must enter < CR> after entering a log number.
Events communicate system information from the source of the event to other parts of the system,
then to the system administrator. Events are produced by intelligent hardware modules, the operating
system, and system firmware. Events funnel into iLO 3 from different sources throughout the server.
The iLO 3 stores new events in nonvolatile memory.
The SL command also displays the contents of the iLO 3 Event Log. The following events are
recorded:
• iLO 3 MP login and logout attempts
• Command logging for specific commands
• All entries in the existing history log with more detail
Each time a user logs in or out of iLO 3, an event is logged. In the event of a login failure, an event
is logged if the number of continuous login failure attempts equals the password fault value.
The following example shows the event log viewer menu:
