[James_144]

I have a LH4R running W/Server 2003. What is the best way to clear the lcd error log?

Thanks.

Hi James,

You can do it in two ways,

1 If you have HP Instant Top tools great, if not you can download and install it from this link
http://h20000.www2.hp.com/bizsupport/TechSupport/SoftwareDescription.jsp?locale=en_US〈=English&pnameOID=15383&prodSeriesId=50450&prodTypeId=15351&basePartNum=COL3288&locBasepartNum=ns-11142-1&os=Microsoft+Windows+Server+2003&tech=Utility++HP+Instant+Toptools

Select your Operating system and download the "Utility HP Instant Top Tools" and install it in your system. The you should be able to clear the event log from system event log section under the Status Tab

2. You can download the dos version hardware event log display utility from this link
http://h20000.www2.hp.com/bizsupport/TechSupport/SoftwareDescription.jsp?locale=en_US〈=English&pnameOID=15383&prodSeriesId=50450&prodTypeId=15351&basePartNum=COL3415&locBasepartNum=ns-11635-1&os=Cross+OS&tech=Utility

You need a formated known good floppy disk

once you download it double click the download and follow the instruction to creat a bootable disk image. The boot the server from that floppy disk, from which you can be able to see a clear even log option.

Hope this will help

You can also boot to your Navigator CD. I don't know which Navigator you have and the method will be different but generally there will be a Tools icon you can click. There will be an Event Viewer icon that you can then click. There will be an option to clear the log you can choose.

If you have an older Navigator without the Tools icon, then in the menu will be an option for Netserver Utilities. Drill down into More Netserver Utilities and there should be an option for Event Log Report Utility. Inside this will be an option to clear the log.

All the above is good information - which may or may not work with Windows 2003 on a Netserver. Using any version of 2003 on a Netserver was not tested by HP, so unpredictable results may occur. Good luck with this!
