Interpreting Event Log Time Stamps
The system event log time stamps are related to the service processor clock settings.
If the clock settings change, the change is reflected in the time stamps.
When the service processor reboots, the SP clock is set to Thu Jan 1 00:00:00 UTC
1970. The SP reboots as a result of the following:
■ A complete system unplug/replug power cycle
■ An IPMI command; for example, mc reset cold
■ A command-line interface (CLI) command; for example, reset /SP
