Viewing Hardware Logs Using CMC Web Interface
You can view, save, and clear the hardware log. You can sort the log entries based on Severity, Date/Time, or Description by clicking
the column heading. Subsequent clicks on the column headings reverse the sort.
To view the hardware logs using CMC Web interface, in the system tree, go to Chassis Overview and click Logs → Hardware Log.
The Hardware Log page is displayed. To save a copy of the hardware log to your managed station or network, click Save Log and
then specify a location for a text le of the log.
NOTE: Since the log is saved as a text le, the graphical images used to indicate severity in the user interface do not
appear. In the text le, severity is indicated with the words OK, Informational, Unknown, Warning, and Severe. The date
and time entries appear in ascending order. If <SYSTEM BOOT> appears in the Date/Time column, it means that the
event occurred during shut down or start up of any of the modules, when no date or time is available.
To clear the hardware log, click Clear Log.
NOTE: CMC creates a new log entry indicating that the log was cleared.
Viewing Hardware Logs Using RACADM
To view the hardware log using RACADM, open a serial/Telnet/SSH text console to CMC, log in, and type:
racadm getsel
To clear the hardware log, type:
racadm clrsel
