• Console Logs
Enter CL from the service processor Main menu to access the console
logs menu. To exit the console log, type ^b (Control-b).
Each nPartition has its own console log, which has a history of the
nPartition console’s output, including boot output, BCH activity, and
any HP-UX console login activity.
The console log provides a limited history; it is a circular log file that
overwrites the oldest information with the most recent.
All console activity is recorded in the console’s log, regardless of
whether any service processor users are connected to the console.
• Chassis Logs Viewers (Live and Recorded Chassis Codes)
Enter SL to access the chassis log viewer. To exit the chassis viewer
type ^b (Control-b).
Three types of chassis code log views are available: activity logs, error
logs, live chassis code logs.
The activity log and error log provide views of past chassis codes.
The live chassis code view provides:
— Real-time view of chassis codes.
— Options for filtering the live chassis code output to show only the
chassis codes related to a specific cell (C), a specific nPartition (P),
or alerts (A, for codes of alert level 3 and higher). Type U to view
unfiltered codes (all chassis codes).
All logs (activity, error, and live) can be displayed in different formats,
including: keyword format, text format, hex (with keywords), and raw
hex format.
When viewing chassis logs, type V followed by a format selector to
change the display format.
• Virtual Front Panels
Each nPartition’s Virtual Front Panel (VFP) displays real-time status
of the nPartition boot status and activity, and details about all cells
assigned to the nPartition. The VFP display automatically updates as
cell and nPartition status changes.
Enter VFP at the Main menu to access the View Front Panel menu. To
exit a Virtual Front Panel, type ^b (Control-b).
