Clearing the Microsoft Windows event logs

When you change the IBM® System Storage® Productivity Center or master console IP address or host name, you might create entries in the Microsoft® Windows® event logs.

Clear all three logs to ensure that these log entries do not cause confusion when you try to isolate problems.

The following procedure assumes that your Windows desktop is displayed.

Perform the following steps to clear the event logs:

  1. Right-click My Computer and select Manage.
  2. Expand Event Viewer.
  3. Right-click Application and select Clear All Events. Click No when you are asked if you want to save the log before clearing.
  4. Right-click Security and select Clear All Events. Click No when you are asked if you want to save the log before clearing.
  5. Right-click System and select Clear All Events. Click No when you are asked if you want to save the log before clearing.
  6. Close the computer management window.
