Event messages

Use this information to review event messages and resolve many errors.

Note
IMM and UEFI events related to communications errors can take up to 20 minutes to be displayed in the CMM event log.

When viewing event messages in the CMM event log, look for events that might have occurred earlier in the log that are related to the problem you are experiencing. For example, if you see an event for a microprocessor bus error, look for errors relating to memory that could also be the cause of this error.

  • IMM messages
    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).
  • UEFI diagnostic codes
    UEFI diagnostic codes can be generated when the compute node starts up or while the compute node is running. UEFI diagnostic codes are logged in the IMM event log in the compute node.
