The CentricsIT engineering experts are here to help with your data center in our monthly FixIT column. This month, learn how to access and clear system error logs to address attention lights on HP Integrity servers. Below, our engineers walk you through an example on how to first show the log, then select event, and finally select Text to make the log more readable. You can also clear the logs using the C command.
If you need additional assistance, contact us to talk about our on-demand engineering options.
