When a hardware event is detected by the IMM on a Lenovo Flex System
x240 M5 compute node,
the IMM logs that event in the system-event log in the compute node.
In addition, the IMM sends that event to the CMM and to the Lenovo XClarity Administrator (if
installed) or the Flex System Manager management
software (if
installed).
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 Call
Home on the Lenovo XClarity Administrator (if
installed) or Electronic Service Agent (ESA) on the Flex System Manager management
software (if
installed), Lenovo Support will be notified automatically if the event
is generated.
If the Lenovo XClarity Administrator or Flex System Manager management
software is
not installed, you can enable automatic notification of Lenovo Support
from the CMM web interface.
While you wait for Lenovo 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 Lenovo Support.
Note: This list includes error
codes and messages that might not apply to this machine type and model.
