Here's how you clear just the logs: To clear the forward progress log: cli>ipmi 28 C7 43 4C 52 00 . Clearing the system event log is a 2 step process, first get a reservation ID: cli>ipmi 28 42 00 XX YY ... ^^^^^ =3D reservation ID Then issue the clear: cli>ipmi 28 47 XX YY 43 4c 52 aa ^^^^^ =3D reservation ID from above 00 01 .. cli>se SEL is empty. cli>fpl FPL is empty.
