history of operations on HMC 3

[ogniemi]

is a operations/activities history users did using HMC's GUI kept somewhere on HMC?

eg. date, system, what was done (restart, halt, dlparing, console opened, etc.)


Using command line I can find in bash history last commands but what about GUI?

 

[p5wizard]

There's an HMC eventlog that you can go through.

It's somewhere in the GUI. In HMC7 it's the first option in HMC Management. Don't know the location in the HMC6 GUI.

I can't find it in v6 - maybe it is not there

login to the hmc using ssh and view the websm.script file.

[ogniemi]

that is it p5wizard! Thx.

now I am looking for non-gui (command line) substitute.

 

[khalidaaa]

When i tried to view the Console events, this was found in the websm.script in the /home/hscroot on hmc

/opt/hsc/bin/LoginMOMIssue

But there was no command logged for that operation!

i found the command:

lssvcevents -t console -d 0

example:

hscroot@hmc3:~> lssvcevents -t console -d 1
time=01/24/2008 12:22:41,text=HSCE2174 User hscroot Login from remote host testcws01.domain.net with IP address 10.2.5.5 was successful.
time=01/24/2008 12:19:14,text=HSCE2123 User name hscroot: mkvterm -m P51A_0-9110-51A-SN06552CE -p lpar01 command was executed successfully.

That's nice ogniemi! I wonder how did you find it? was there a log somewher else for that?

I have to admit that you and p5wizard deserve stars!

I checked for hmc's ls* commands

hscroot@hmc2:~> ls /usr/hmcrbin/ls*
/usr/hmcrbin/lsaccfg /usr/hmcrbin/lshmcusr /usr/hmcrbin/lsled /usr/hmcrbin/lspartition /usr/hmcrbin/lssysconn
/usr/hmcrbin/lscod /usr/hmcrbin/lshsc /usr/hmcrbin/lslic /usr/hmcrbin/lsrefcode /usr/hmcrbin/lssysplan
/usr/hmcrbin/lscuod /usr/hmcrbin/lshwinfo /usr/hmcrbin/lslock /usr/hmcrbin/lssacfg /usr/hmcrbin/lsusrtca
/usr/hmcrbin/lsdump /usr/hmcrbin/lshwres /usr/hmcrbin/lslparutil /usr/hmcrbin/lssvcevents /usr/hmcrbin/lsvet
/usr/hmcrbin/lshmc /usr/hmcrbin/lsIBNM /usr/hmcrbin/lsmediadev /usr/hmcrbin/lssyscfg

and then:

man lssvcevents


By the way I found how to enable NTP on HMC:

(the time was adjusted immediately)

hscroot@hmc2:~> date
Thu Jan 24 12:43:24 CET 2008
hscroot@hmc2:~> chhmc -c xntp -s enable
hscroot@hmc2:~> chhmc -c xntp -s add -a 10.11.12.1
hscroot@hmc2:~> date
Thu Jan 24 13:07:06 CET 2008
hscroot@hmc2:~>
