Viewing Console Logs
The console logs display error and information messages that the console
has logged
while running commands. Your service representative can use this information
to learn
more about what caused an error and how to resolve it. The HMC classifies
log entries
as either an informational message or an error message, and are identified
with an I or
E, respectively. The HMC lists these log entries chronologically,
with the most recent
shown at the top of the list.
