Description
BMC with Remote Supervisor Adapter II
(TS100, TS100, TS100x, RS110, and RD120)
IMM(RD210, RD220, and later)
Error logging
The BMC provides a BMC system-event log
(IPMI event log).
The Remote Supervisor Adapter II provides a
text-based log that includes descriptions of
events that are reported by the BMC. This log
also contains any information or events
detected by the Remote Supervisor Adapter II
itself.
The IMM has two event logs:
1.
The system-event log is available
through the IPMI interface.
2.
The chassis-event log is available
through the other IMM interfaces. The
chassis-event log displays text messages
that are generated using the Distributed
Management Task Force specifications
DSP0244 and DSP8007.
Note:
For an explanation of a specific event
or message, see the Hardware Maintenance
Manual that is available on the Lenovo
Support Web site at
