### View Sensor Readings

Follow these steps to view sensor readings:

1. Log in to the ILOM SP web interface or the CMM ILOM web interface.

2. Select System Monitoring --> Sensor Readings.

The Sensor Readings page appears.

Note - If the server is powered off, many components will appear as “no reading.”

3. In the Sensor Readings page, do the following:

a. Locate the name of the sensor you want to configure.

b. Click the name of the sensor to view the property values associated with that sensor.

For specific details about the type of discrete sensor targets you can access, as well as the paths to access them, consult the user documentation provided with the Sun server platform.

### Configure System Indicators

#### Before You Begin

- To configure the indicator state, you need the User Management (`u`) role enabled.

Follow these steps to configure system indicators:

1. Log in to the ILOM SP web interface or the CMM ILOM web interface.

2. Select System Monitoring --> Indicators.

The Indicators page appears.

Note - If the server is powered off, many indicators will appear as “no reading.”

3. In the Indicators page, do the following:

a. Locate the name of the indicator you want to configure.

b. To change the state of an indicator, click the radio button associated with the indicator that you want to change. Then click the Actions drop-down list box and select either Turn LED Off or Set LED to Fast Blink.

A dialog appears prompting you to confirm the change.

c. Click OK to confirm the change.

### Configure Clock Settings

#### Before You Begin

- To view and set clock settings, you need the Admin (`a`) role enabled.

- You need the IP address of your NTP server to complete this procedure.

Follow these steps to configure clock settings:

1. Log in to the ILOM SP web interface or the CMM ILOM web interface.

2. Select Configuration --> Clock.

The Clock Settings page appears.

3. In the Clock Settings page, do one of the following:

- View the existing settings.

- Manually configure the date and time of the host server SP. See Step 4.

- Synchronize the date and time of the host server SP with an NTP server. See Step 5.

4. To manually set the date and time of the host server SP, follow these steps:

a. In the Date text box, type the date in the format mm/dd/yy.

b. In the Time drop-down list boxes, set the hour and minutes.

c. Go to Step 6.

5. To configure an IP address of an NTP server and enable synchronization, follow these steps:

a. Select the Enabled check box next to Synchronize Time Using NTP.

b. In the Server 1 text box, type the IP address of the primary NTP server you want to use.

c. (Optional) In the Server 2 text box, type the IP address of the secondary NTP server you want to use.

6. Click Save for your changes to take effect.

Consult your Sun server platform user documentation for platform-specific clock information about whether:

- The current time in ILOM persists across reboots of the SP.

- The current time in ILOM can be synchronized with the host at host boot time.

- There is a real-time clock element that stores the time.

### Configure Timezone Settings

#### Before You Begin

- To view and set clock timezone settings, you need the Admin (`a`) role enabled.

Follow these steps to configure timezone settings:

1. Log in to the ILOM SP web interface or the CMM ILOM web interface.

2. Select Configuration --> Timezone.

The Timezone Settings page appears.

3. Select the timezone using the Timezone drop-down list.

Consult your Sun server platform user documentation for platform-specific clock information about whether:

- The current time in ILOM persists across reboots of the SP.

- The current time in ILOM can be synchronized with the host at host boot time.

- There is a real-time clock element that stores the time.

### Filter Event Log Output

Follow these steps to filter event log output:

1. Log in to the ILOM SP web interface or the CMM ILOM web interface.

2. Select System Monitoring --> Event Logs.

The Event Log page appears.

3. In the Event Log page, choose from among the following standard filters:

- All Events

- Class: Fault

- Type: Action

- Severity: Down

- Severity: Critical

4. Alternatively, you can choose from among the custom output filters shown in the following figure.

The table below the figure lists the options available in each filter.Event Log Custom Filter

Event Class | Event Type | Severity
--- | --- | ---
Developer | Log | Debug
Email | Connection | Down
Captive Shell | Send | Critical
Backup | Command Entered | Major
Restore | State | Minor
Reset | Action |
Chassis | Fault |
Audit | Repair |
IPMI | Warning |
Fault |  |
System |  |
ActDir |  |
`` | `` | ``

### View and Clear the ILOM Event Log

#### Before You Begin

- To view or clear the event log, you need the Admin (`a`) role enabled.

Follow these steps to view and clear the ILOM event log:

1. Log in to the ILOM SP web interface or the CMM ILOM web interface.

2. Select System Monitoring --> Event Logs.

The Event Log page appears.

3. In the Event Log page, perform any of the following:

- Page through entries - Use the page navigation controls at the top and the bottom of the table to navigate forward and back through the available data in the table.

Note that selecting a greater number of entries might cause the web interface to respond slower than selecting a fewer number of entries.

- View the entries in the display by scrolling through the list - The following table provides descriptions about each column appearing in the log.

Column Label | Description
--- | ---
Event ID | The number of the event, in sequence from number 1.
Class/Type | Audit/ Log - Commands that result in a configuration change. Description includes user, command, command parameters, and success/fail. IPMI/Log - Any event that is placed in the IPMI SEL is also put in the management log. Chassis/State - For changes to the inventory and general system state changes. Chassis/Action - Category for shutdown events for server module/chassis, hot insert/removal of a FRU, and Reset Parameters button pushed. Fault/Fault - For Fault Management faults. Description gives the time the fault was detected and suspect component. Fault/Repair - For Fault repairs. Description gives component.
Severity | Debug, Down, Critical, Major, or Minor.
Date/Time | The day and time the event occurred. If the Network Time Protocol (NTP) server is enabled to set the ILOM time, the ILOM clock will use Universal Coordinated Time (UTC).
Description | A description of the event.

- Clear the event log - To clear the event log, click the Clear Event Log button. A confirmation dialog appears. In the confirmation dialog, click OK to clear the entries.

Note - The ILOM event log accumulates many types of events, including copies of IPMI entries. Clearing the ILOM event log will clear all entries in the log, including the IPMI entries. However, clearing the ILOM event log entries will not clear the actual entries posted directly to an IPMI log.

### Configure Remote Syslog Receiver IP Addresses

#### Before You Begin

- To configure remote syslog receiver IP addresses, you need the Admin (`a`) role enabled.

Follow these steps to configure remote syslog receiver IP addresses:

1. Log in to the ILOM SP web interface or the CMM ILOM web interface.

2. Select Configuration --> Syslog.

The Syslog page appears.

3. In the IP Address 1 and 2 fields, type the IP addresses for the two locations to which you want to send syslog data.

4. Click Save for your settings to take effect.

### View and Clear Faults

#### Before You Begin

- To clear faults in ILOM, you need the Admin (`a`) role enabled and the server SP or CMM must have ILOM firmware 3.0.3 or later installed.

Follow these steps to view or clear faults using the ILOM web interface.

1. Log in to the ILOM SP web interface or the CMM ILOM web interface.

2. To view the status of faulted components detected by ILOM, do the following:

a. Click System Information --> Fault Management.

The Fault Management page appears, listing faulted components by ID, FRU, and TimeStamp.

b. To view additional information about the faulted component, click the faulted component ID.

Additional information about the faulted component appears in a dialog.

Note - Alternatively, you can view the fault status for a component on the Component Management page. In the Component Management page, select the component name to view the fault status information.

3. Fix or replace the faulted component in the system.

After fixing or replacing the faulted component, you should clear the fault status in ILOM.

4. To clear the status of faulted components shown in ILOM, do the following:

a. Click the System Information --> Components tab.

b. In the Component Management page, enable the radio button next to the faulted component, then select Clear Faults.
