HP Integrity iLO 3 Operations Guide

Relevant iLO MP TUI command: SL
NOTE: You can view only the most pertinent fields for each event on the web. For a more complete
decoding of the events, use the TUI CLI by logging in to iLO 3 through Telnet or SSH.
Events
Events can be a result of a failure or an error (such as fan failure, Machine-Check Abort, and so
on). They can indicate a major change in system state (such as, firmware boot start or, system
power on or off), or they can be forward progress markers (such as CPU self-test complete).
Events are produced by intelligent hardware modules, the operating system, and system firmware.
Events funnel into the BMC from different sources throughout the server. The iLO 3 polls the BMC
for new events and stores them in nonvolatile memory. Events communicate system information
from the source of the event to other parts of the system, and ultimately to the system administrator.
The log viewer contains an event decoder to help you interpret events.
The following event severity (or alert) levels are defined:
0: Minor forward progress
1: Major forward progress
2: Informational
3: Warning
5: Critical
7: Fatal
Forward Progress Log
The log viewer enables you to view the contents of the Forward Progress Log stored in nonvolatile
memory. To clear the log, you must have the Configure iLO Settings user right.
The Integrity iLO stores a detailed Forward Progress Log of system operation during boot, crash,
and any other abnormal conditions that can be used to extensively troubleshoot the server. This
log goes far beyond the capabilities of standard IPMI for fault management.
