When a hardware event is detected by the IMM on the upper
or lower compute node of a Flex System x222 Compute Node,
the IMM logs that event in the system-event log in the affected compute
node. In addition, the IMM sends that event to the CMM and to the Flex System Manager management software (if
installed).
Important: In event messages that
reference a specific Flex System x222 compute node, upper or lower,
'node 1' indicates the lower compute node and 'node 2' indicates the
upper compute node.
For each event code, the following fields
are displayed:
- Event identifier
- A hexadecimal identifier that uniquely identifies an event or
class of events. In this documentation, the event identifiers are
prefixed with 0x and followed by eight characters.
- Event description
- The logged message string that appears for an event. When the
event string is displayed in the system-event log, information such
as a specific component is displayed. In this documentation, that
additional information appears as variables, such as [arg1] or [arg2].
- Explanation
- Additional information to explain why the event occurred.
- Severity
- An indication of the level of concern for the condition. In the
system-event log, the severity is abbreviated to the first character.
The following severities can be displayed:
- Info: The event was recorded for audit purposes. This is
usually a user action or a change of states that is normal behavior.
- Warning: The event is not as severe as an error, but if
possible, the condition should be corrected before it becomes an error.
It might also be a condition that requires additional monitoring or
maintenance.
- Error: The event is a failure or critical condition that
impairs service or an expected function.
- Alert Category
- Similar events are grouped in categories. The alert category is
in the following format:
severity - device
component
severity is one of the following
severity levels:
- Critical: A key component in the server is no longer functioning.
- Warning: The event might progress to a critical level.
- System: The event is the result of a system error or a
configuration change.
device component is the specific device in the
compute node that caused the event to be generated.
- Serviceable
- Whether user action is required to correct the problem.
- CIM Information
- The prefix of the message ID and the sequence number that is used
by the CIM message registry.
- SNMP Trap ID
- The SNMP trap ID that is found in the SNMP alert management information
base (MIB).
- Automatically notify Support
- If this field is set to Yes and you have enabled Electronic
Service Agent (ESA) on Flex System Manager management software (if
installed), Support will be notified automatically if the event is
generated.
If Flex System Manager management software is
not installed, you can enable Support from the CMM web interface.
While
you wait for Support to call, you can perform the recommended actions
for the event.
- User response
- The actions that you should perform to solve the event.
Perform
the steps listed in this section in the order shown until the problem
is solved. After you perform all of the actions that are described
in this field, if you cannot solve the problem, contact Support.
Note: This
list includes error codes and messages that might not apply to this
machine type and model.
