Decoding the Example SEL Entry
Decoding an SEL entry consists of identifying the values of the fields in the event record and using the value
tables to decode their meaning.
Table 4-2 shows how to decode and SEL entry. The example uses the SEL entry from Figure 4-1.
Table 4-2 Decoding Example
SEL Field Value Decode
SEL ID 0x0273 Unique identifier of this SEL entry.
Timestamp Apr 19 07:25:31 Date and time of the event.
Event
Generator
0x8e,0,0 The Event Generator Field identifies the IPMB address of
the board where the event occurred, the LUN on the board
and the Channel Number.
Table 4-3 identifies the IPMB addresses that map to
physical components in the chassis.
For this example:
0x8e = Node 4 = Physical Slot 4. To continue you must
identify the type of component located in slot 4 of the
chassis (A Ethernet Switch Blade or a Server Blade). For
this example Slot 4 contains an HP bc2100 ATCA Server
Blade.
Chassis level components.
Non-Slot components such as the ShMM, are identified
using the component tables. For example a value of 0x20
identifies the ShMM as the initiating component.
Note: For this release the LUN and Channel Numbers will
be 0 and require no decoding.
