Dell Modular and Monolithic Systems Tasks
Clear ESM Logs
The Server Administrator Embedded Server Management (ESM) log, also
referred to as the hardware log, maintains a list of all system events generated
by the hardware, such as error-correcting code (ECC), system reset and boot,
and probe threshold changes. You can refer to this log when hardware errors
appear or when the system is not functioning properly. This task also saves a
back up of the ESM log on the agent managed system at:
x:\DellMP\ESMLog<timestamp>.log where x: is the Server Administrator
installation drive.
1
In the Operations Console, navigate to a diagram view.
2 Expand the diagram and select the desired Dell system.
3 Click Clear ESM Logs under Dell Systems Instances in the Actions pane.
The
Run Tasks window appears.
4 Click Run to clear the ESM logs of the device that you selected.
When the Clear ESM Logs task is executed, the task execution screen
displays the result of the task initiation. This has nothing to do with the
execution result of the task. For example, the task execution screen may
show a success result even if the ESM logs are not cleared. This means that
the Clear ESM Logs task initiation was successful.
