Hi,
dmesg would be a start as /var/adm/syslog.log
If you can get to the console you can also look at Error logs on the GSP.

You also can view MP messages with slview - http://docs.hp.com/en/diag/eit/st_event_viewer_cli.htm

Hi,

By default, any system messages at level "info" or higher go to syslog, so that is the most important file to check. The full path is /var/adm/syslog/syslog.log. Various system monitoring daemons also email alerts to root's email account. Depending on your setup, the 'arraylog' command may prove useful. 'man 1m arraylog' for more info.

Hi,

You can check that using the following commands
1.ioscan -fn---> ioscan scans system hardware, usable I/O system devices, or kernel I/O
system data structures as appropriate, and lists the results. For
each hardware module on the system, ioscan displays by default the
hardware path to the hardware module, the class of the hardware
module, and a brief description.
2.echo â map; selall; info; wait; infologâ | cstm
3.df -t
4.from the MP prompt---
MP>CM>ps----power status
MP>SL->e->d->Y----Event logs

let us know if this helps

hi

besides the given answers there is also /var/opt/resmon/log/event.log ...
All HW errors should be reported here also...

hi,
you will find out all H/W error in /var/opt/resmon/log/event.log file

The EMS HW monitors will, if running (and they should be by default), report any problems they find with the hardware which they monitor (CPU, cabinets, memory, disks (except EVAs etc.) and so on). For critical and serious events, they will log a message to syslog.log, send a message to the root user, and log the full details to the /var/opt/resmon/log/event.log file, and send a message via ISEE if that is installed. For lower level events, they just log to the event.log files.

You can also use the STM tools to view the status of the hardware, so for memory, for example, you can see what memory errors have been logged, and the status of the PDT (it's normal for the system to deal with a certain level of hardware errors silently, so you may have memory errors in STM that don't cause an EMS event since the system is coping.)
