Viewing Console Logs
Each nPartition in a server complex has its own console log that stores a
record of the nPartition’s most recent console activity.
To access an nPartition’s console log, enter CL from the service processor
Main menu and select which nPartition’s console log you want to view. To
exit the console log viewer, type ^b (Control-b) to return to the Main
menu.
When viewing an nPartition’s console log, type P to view the previous
page of the console log, or type N (or Enter) to view the next page.
When you enter an nPartition’s console log viewer it displays the oldest
data in the log first and allows you to page through the log to view the
more recently recorded activity.
Each nPartition’s console log is a circular log file that records
approximately 30 to 40 pages of data. All nPartition console activity is
written to this log file, regardless of whether a user is connected to the
nPartition console.
As an nPartition’s console log is written the oldest data in the log is
overwritten by current data, as needed, so that the last 30 to 40 pages of
console output always is available from the console log viewer.
