While trying to sort out a system that was rebooting randomly due to a hardware failure, I discovered you can view the System Event Log on the iDRAC using the IPMITool.
Listed below are the commands to view the SEL Log on the iDRAC.
Commands:
ipmitool sel list
Example:
[root@APPLIANCE14 ~]# ipmitool sel list
