Checking the Post Codes
The Post Codes screen displays the last system post code prior to booting the
operating system. Post codes are progress indicators from the system BIOS,
indicating various stages of the boot sequence from Power on Reset, and allow
you to diagnose any faults related to system boot-up.
NOTE: View the text for POST code message numbers in the LCD display or in the
Hardware Owner’s Manual.
To view the Post Codes, click System Logs Post Code. The Post Code
screen displays a system health indicator (see Table 19-3), a hexadecimal
code, and a description of the code.
Viewing the Last System Crash Screen
NOTE: The last crash screen feature must be configured in the Server Administrator
and in iDRAC6 Web interface. See "Configuring the Managed Server to Capture the
Last Crash Screen" on page 82 for instructions on configuring this feature.
The Last Crash Screen screen displays the most recent crash screen, which
includes information about the events that occurred before the system crash.
The last system crash image is saved in iDRAC6 persistent store and is
remotely accessible. The last crash screen is availab le even if iDRAC resets
since it is stored in NVRAM.
To view the Last Crash Screen screen, click System LogsLast Crash
Screen. The Last Crash Screen screen displays the last saved crash screen.
Click Save to save the last crash screen to a directory of your choice.
Click Delete to delete the last crash screen.
NOTE: The Save and Delete buttons do not appear if there is no saved crash screen.
NOTE: Due to fluctuations in the Auto Recovery timer, the Last Crash Screen may
not be captured when the System Reset Timer is configured with a value that is too
high. The default setting is 480 seconds. Use Server Administrator or IT Assistant to
set the System Reset Timer to 60 seconds and ensure that the Last Crash Screen
functions properly. See "Configuring the Managed Server to Capture the Last Crash
Screen" on page 82 for additional information.
