Does redhat linux log all hardware events/issues/error in /var/log/mcelog?

[ajay raghuraj]

Hi

Try ethtool or peek into /proc to check the network  interface stats. You
could use the HBA vendor's software installed on the OS to support the
hardware.

Example: If the HBA were from emulex then you could check the hbaanywhere
cli commands to run a healthcheck
