capabilities in a single chip on the system board. The IMM2 monitors all
components of the compute node and posts events in the IMM event log. In
addition, most events are also sent to the Chassis Management Module event log.
You can view the IMM event log through the Dynamic System Analysis (DSA)
program (as the ASM event log).
To diagnose and resolve IMM error codes, see “IMM messages” on page 67.
Viewing event logs through the Setup utility
You can view the IMM and POST events through the Setup utility.
Procedure
To view the POST event log or system-event log, complete the following steps:
1. Connect a keyboard, monitor, and mouse to the console breakout cable and
connect the console breakout cable to the compute node.
2. Turn on the compute node.
3. When the prompt <F1> Setup is displayed, press F1. If you have set both a
power-on password and an administrator password, you must type the
administrator password to view the event logs.
4. Select System Event Logs and use one of the following procedures:
v To view the POST event log, select POST Event Viewer.
v To view the system-event log, select System Event Log.
Viewing event logs without restarting the compute node
Methods are available for you to view one or more event logs without having to
restart the compute node.
You can view the Chassis Management Module event log in the IBM Flex System
Manager Chassis Manager, or through the Event Log link in IBM Flex System
Manager management software. For more information about IBM Flex System
Manager management software, see the "IBM Flex System Manager Software:
Installation and Service Guide" at http://ralfss21.raleigh.ibm.com:8099/help/
topic/com.ibm.acc.8731.doc/product_page.html.
You can also view the Chassis Management Module event log through the Event
Log link by using the CMM displaylog command or the CMM web interface.
Note: If event IDs are not currently displayed in the Event Log page, you can
enable them. To do so, click Filter Events and select the Event ID check box under
Visible columns.

If you have installed DSA Portable Edition, you can use it to view the
system-event log (as the IPMI event log), the operating-system event logs, or the
merged DSA log. You can also use DSA Preboot to view these logs, although you
