sel Command

Displays system event log. Issued on the CMC.

Syntax

sel [-v] [IPMB_address [record_count [starting_entry]]]

sel clear [IPMB_address]

sel info [IPMB_address]

where:

• IPMB_address is the IPMB bus address of the component.

• record_count is the number of subsequent records to be displayed.

• starting_entry is the entry number of the first record to be displayed.

Description

This CLIA command shows the contents of the system event log (SEL) on the specified IPM controller (at IPMB address 20h by default). The optional parameter record_count indicates how many records from the record number starting_entry in the SEL are shown. The optional parameter starting_entry is the entry number of the first SEL record to print, relative to the beginning of the SEL.

For each SEL record, the following information fields are shown:

• Record ID

• Record type (currently only events are supported, for which the word Event is shown)

• Timestamp (for timestamped records)

• Source address parameters – IPMB address, LUN, and channel number

• Type and number of the sensor that generated the event

• Event or reading type code

• Three bytes of event data, in raw and processed (if available) formats

The command sel clear clears the SEL on the specified IPM controller (at IPMB address 20h by default).

The command sel info provides information about the SEL on the specified IPM controller (at IPMB address 20h by default).

Options

The -v option makes the SEL entries output more user-friendly.
