Event Reporting: Templates and Codes 5–21
Notification/Recovery (NR) Threshold
Located at byte offset {8}32 is the NR threshold assigned to the event. This value is used
during Symptom-Directed Diagnosis procedures to determine when to take
notification/recovery action. For a description of event notification/recovery threshold
classifications, see Table 5–14.
Repair Action
The Repair Action found at byte offset {9}33 indicates the recommended repair action
code assigned to the event. This value is used during Symptom-Directed Diagnosis
procedures to determine what notification/recovery (recommended repair) action to take
upon reaching the NR Threshold. For details about recommended repair action codes, see
the “Recommended Repair Action Codes” section on page 5–88.
Event Number
The Event Number is located at byte offset {10}34. Combining this number with the
Component ID field value uniquely-identifies the reported event.
