Clearing ECC error without rebooting?

[Dirk Taggesell]

Hi all,

on one of our DELL servers here (a 1950) an ECC mem error occured, it
was non-critical and I want to delete the event so that the NAGIOS check
(check_dell_sensors) doesn't complain anymore (until another ECC error
occurs).

Of course I could reboot the machine, but that doesn't make sense whe
the RAM error was only a single event and does not occur frequently.

Yet I couldn't figure a way to "reset" the internal error log. I already
deleted the event log - to no avail.

How do I clear the error log without having to reboot the machine?

The DELL software (5.2) is installed (omreport, omconfig, omexec,
omupdate), the machine is running OpenSuSE 10.2 64Bit.

thanks in advance
