Integrated management module II (IMM2) error messages

This topic provides a description of the fields that are displayed for the IMM events.

When a hardware event is detected by the IMM on the server, the IMM logs that event in the system-event log in the server.

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 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
Provides additional information to explain why the event occurred.
Severity
An indication of the level of concern for the condition. In the system-event log, severity is abbreviated to the first character. The following severities can be displayed.Info: The event was recorded for audit purposes, 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
