A powerful hardware solution for proactive monitoring and management of xSeries servers.
This feature, integrated into the planar on many of the IBM servers, contains its own processor, memory and communications interface IBMs Service Processors include:
Integrated System Management Processor (ISMP), Remote Supervisor Adapter (RSA), Remote Supervisor Adapter II (RSA-II), and Baseboard Management Controller (BMC)

Error logs
POST
The POST error log contains the three most recent error codes and messages that were generated during POST The BMC log and the system-error log contain messages that were generated during POST and all system status messages from the service processor When troubleshooting an error, make sure to clear the BMC log so that you can find current errors more easily
BMC
RSA
Will contain translated BMC errors messages Primary RSAII will contain all critical errors from remote nodes (except from environmental events) in scalability mode 5/3/12
