Viewing the Last System Crash Screen
NOTICE: To capture the last crash screen, you must have managed system software installed.
Use the Last Crash Screen page to view the most recent crash screen, which allows you to obtain
information about events leading up to the system crash. Last system crash information is saved
in DRAC 4 memory and is remotely accessible. The date of the system crash appears on the last
crash screen.
The Last Crash Screen page provides the following buttons (see Table 4-27) in the top-right
corner of the page:
NOTE: Due to fluctuations in the watchdog timer, the Last Crash Screen has a higher probability of not
being captured when the System Reset Timer is set to a value less than 30 seconds. Use Server
Administrator or IT Assistant to set the System Reset Timer to at least 30 seconds to ensure that the
Last
Crash Screen functions properly. See "Configuring the Managed System to Capture the Last Crash
Screen" for additional information.
