When attempting to resolve issues with your server, the best practice is to begin with the event log of the Lenovo XClarity Controller.

The event log contains server hardware events that are recorded by the Lenovo XClarity Controller or by UEFI. In addition, events can be generated when you perform diagnostic testing on hard drives or memory through the Lenovo XClarity Provisioning Manager (although these events are not stored in the event log).

Use this section to view the events that can be generated by Lenovo XClarity Controller, UEFI, or the Lenovo XClarity Provisioning Manager. For each event, a user action is available to help you understand what must be done to resolve the issue.

  • XClarity Controller events
    When a hardware event is detected by the Lenovo XClarity Controller on the server, the Lenovo XClarity Controller writes that event in the system-event log on the server.
  • UEFI events
    UEFI error messages can be generated when the server starts up (POST) or while the server is running. UEFI error messages are logged in the Lenovo XClarity Controller event log in the server.
  • XClarity Provisioning Manager events
    The following events can be generated by the Lenovo XClarity Provisioning Manager.
