HP-UX 11

Marilia — Thu, 11 Nov 2010 21:25:56 GMT

Hello experts,

How can I get the information that power supply was disconnected/unplugged from the log files? I can't see this information under /var/adm/syslog/syslog.log; is there any other way/command to get this info?

Thank,
Marilia

hi,

check the EMS messages in syslog

grep EMS /var/adm/syslog/syslog.log

and also you could check the MP console for events.

Marilia,

You can go to MP console, do a co and then execute the ps command. This will give power status of the server whether it is off or on. At off state you can boot with pc.

If you are looking for a logfile it is /var/adm/shutdownlog.

Do assign points.

Regards

Hi Marilia,

U can get the system power on/off logs from the MP logs.
MP logs clearly tell u time n date when the system is power on/off shutdown, restart.
If u want system shutdown logs u can check it /var/adm/shutdown.log

Hope this resolves ur query.
Dont forget assign points.

You can also check with stm (Support Tool Manager) utility , you can look at power supply logs there.
if you use GUI manager;

# export DISPLAY=host.ID
# stm

Ismail >>You can go to MP console, do a co and then execute the ps command.

co will give the login prompt.

marialla,
you need to give cm from the MP console and get the power status by ps command.
suggest you login to MP and give SL (Show Logs)

MP can be connected either by lan (cross cable from your MP lan port to ur pc) or through serial port connected to your laptop/desktop with serial port with a serial cable.
MP port (lan/serial) will be at the back of the server.

Marilia,

You may want to provide the details of the system(s) you want to investigate.
MP access is pretty standard, notably on Itegrity servers, but some details may vary.

Also consider ILO access.
Once you find the IP address, or the network name for the MP, just aim a browser at it.
Log in. Default access is with Admin/Admin but hopefully you have site specific name/pass.
Then look aroudn and ask for the log.

Sample output from the system in my basement below.

Hein

Hi Marilia

Welcome to HP forums!! you are at right place.

==> our mates already provided pretty good information.

Still, could you please provide the model number of the server?

This will help to suggest you specific commands /options

Many thanks for the explanations and way out.
I have only remote access to the platform and customer switch is full to connect MP console. A colleague on site will help me on that until I have remote access to MP.

Regarding the plataform:
HP Rx2660
1.6G
2CPUs
16G RAM
B.11.31

I will keep you informed.

Many Thanks!
