An overvoltage condition has occurred on a UCS server However the Cisco IMC System Event Log (SEL) file is full What is the resulting fault logging action?

Question

Options

• AThe newest entry in the SEL will be overwritten by the overvoltage condition event.
• BThe oldest entry in the SEL will be overwritten by the overvoltage condition event
• CThe SEL is not used to record server related events, such as overvoltage conditions.
• DThe overvoltage condition event will not be recorded in the SEL.

• A
  2% (1)
• B
  5% (2)
• C
  12% (5)
• D
  81% (35)

Explanation

When the Cisco IMC System Event Log (SEL) is full, it uses a "stop when full" policy by default - meaning no new events are written until the log is manually cleared, so the overvoltage event is simply dropped and never recorded, making D correct. Option A is wrong because the SEL does not overwrite the newest entries; that would defeat the purpose of preserving recent history. Option B is wrong because Cisco IMC's SEL does not implement a circular/rolling buffer that overwrites the oldest entries - this behavior is common in some other systems but not the default here. Option C is wrong because the SEL absolutely is used to record hardware-level server events like overvoltage, temperature faults, and fan failures - that is its primary purpose.

Memory tip: Think of the Cisco IMC SEL as a notepad that locks when full - it won't write over anything new or old; you must erase the whole pad (clear the log) before it will accept new entries again.
