250 System Event Log Messages for IPMI Systems
Memory ECC Events
The memory ECC event messages monitor the memory modules in a system.
These messages monitor the ECC memory correction rate and the type of
memory events that occurred.
Table 4-6. Memory ECC Events
Event Message Severity Cause
ECC error correction
detected on Bank #
DIMM [A/B].
Information This event is generated when there is a
memory error correction on a particular
Dual Inline Memory Module (DIMM).
ECC uncorrectable
error detected on
Bank # [DIMM].
Critical This event is generated when the
chipset is unable to correct the memory
errors. Usually, a bank number is
provided and DIMM may or may not be
identifiable, depending on the error.
Correctable memory
error logging
disabled.
Critical This event is generated when the
chipset in the ECC error correction rate
exceeds a predefined limit.
Persistent
correctable memory
errors detected on a
memory device at
location(s) <DIMM
number>.
Warning This event is generated when there is a
memory error correction on a particular
Dual Inline Memory Module (DIMM).
Multi-bit memory
errors detected on a
memory device at
location(s)
<location>.
Critical This event is generated when the
chipset is unable to correct the memory
errors. Usually, more than on DIMM is
listed because a single DIMM may or
may not be identifiable, depending on
the error.
Correctable memory
error logging
disabled for a memory
device at location
<location>.
Critical This event is generated when the
chipset in the ECC error correction rate
exceeds a predefined limit.
