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 clear the hardware log, type:

Viewing CMC Log and Enhanced Chassis Log

CMC generates a log of the chassis-related events and enhanced logging of the chassis when the Enable Enhanced Logging and Events

option is enabled. To view enhanced logging of the chassis in the Chassis Log page, select the Enable Enhanced Logging and Events

option in the General Settings page. To enable or disable the feature using RACADM, use the cfgRacTuneEnhancedLog object. For more

information, see the Chassis Management Controller for Dell PowerEdge M1000e RACADM Command Line Reference Guide available at
