Well, that depends.....

Now 'resmon' will put logs in /var/opt/resmon. But it can also send an alert that something has triggered a hardware logfile and will point you where to read about it. You will find these in your /var/adm/syslog/syslog.log file. And you will also find in your syslog.log file harware issues report too. 'lbolt' is great example of that.

Hope these help get you started.

It really depends on what you are looking for.

Most hardware related logs are are in the MP system logs.

The problem is not have acces the MP login.
only access for SSH. Exist logs for hardware via SSH?

As an admin you *need* access to MP (even over SSH - depending on server model).

server model:

1 ) rx7640 (3 Virtual Particion)
2 ) rx6600 (3 Virtual Machine and 1 Virtual Host)
3 ) rx8640 (3 Virtual Machine, 3 Virtual Particion and 1 Virtual Host.

You should be able to connect via SSH to the MP of all servers.

Don't expect errors in HPVM guests, only on the host.

You need to login to the console and check the logs on the MP under the evenlogs. You can ssh or telnet depends on what you have setup.

As stated, you *need* access to the MP, however there may be some hardware status information obtained by using "logtool" (as long as STM is installed) if you can't get to the MP:

>>but there is method to view the logs from SSH?<<<

SSH -> service which can be used to connect to unix servers using "Secured connection"

Hardware logs -> can be found by checking the , System logs -> like

/var/adm/sysadm/OLDSyslog.log
/var/adm/sysadm/syslog.log
/var/opt/resmon/log/event.log
dmesg

if you need look for (Vpar's) to need gain the console access from
(HPVMHOST)) to Virtual partitions (vpar's)

from HPVMHOST

# hpvmconsole -p guestname

Similarly, to collect the guest operation log:

# hpvmconsole -P "$GUEST" -q -c 'rec -view' > $GUEST.applog

Check below link
