If IPMItool is installed in the server, you can use it to view the system-event log.
Most recent versions of the Linux operating system come with a current version of
IPMItool.
You can view the IMM event log through the Event Log link in the integrated
management module (IMM) web interface. For more information, see “Logging on
to the IMM web interface” on page 153.
The following table describes the methods that you can use to view the event logs,
depending on the condition of the server. The first three conditions generally do
not require that you restart the server.
