6.5 Processing Log Files
You can process a log file, check its status, and view the results using any of the following methods:
- Selecting System Log or Real Time Monitoring runs automatic analysis on a node.
- Clicking Full View manually analyzes a node's system event log and display the results.
- Clicking a Log File name under Other Logs runs manual analysis on the file and displays the results.
- Clicking a Storage Cell - Real Time Monitoring runs automatic analysis on the selected EVA. Clicking a Storage Cell - Full View manually analyzes the selected EVA's system event log and displays the results.
The problem reports, events, and configuration entries shown in the Real-Time Monitoring and Full View listings apply only to the given storage cell.
The IPF configuration reports have been updated to include information from cell based systems. In particular, Field Replaceable Units (FRU) are reported by the Logical Unit Number (LUN) to which they belong, in addition to the existing information. Information about memory dimm sizes is accessible when it is present in the configuration entry. Information about partitions and the cells that belong to those partitions is provided when it is present in the configuration entry. The number of the partition that logged the configuration entry is accessible when it is present in the configuration entry.
An extract of the sample configuration entry is shown below:

Once the file is processed, the icon in the toolbar changes to reflect the status of the log file (see Section 6.5.2) and the results of processing are shown in the display frame.
Both automatic and manual analysis results are shown in the display frame. The information is organized under the following tabs:
- Problem Reports—results of analysis
- Summary—description of the contents of the log file (only available with manual analysis)
- Events—translation of the events contained in the log file
If you have configured the User Settings so SEA only performs manual translation, rather than translation and analysis, the Problem Reports tab is empty. See Section 6.9.1 for more information on User Settings.
If the file cannot be processed for any reason, a message similar to the one in Figure 6–18 is shown.
