PMem event reporting
When system detects PMem-related event either during runtime or POST, system will log the events in Server System Event
Log(SEL) and Life-Cycle Log(LCL). If an event is detected during boot time, system halts during the POST and user needs to
press F1 to continue the boot process.
NOTE:
NVDIMM is frequently used in these messages. The term NVDIMM is generic to several different families of
persistent memory including PMem and not meant to indicate NVDIMM-N modules.

Event message ID encoding
Events during boot time
Event message ID encoding
The event message IDs are encoded as MEM XYZZ.
X - Severity
5 = Informational (LC log only)
6 = Warning (LC log and SEL)
7 = Critical (LC log and SEL)
Y - Version
1 = Initial messages
ZZ - Recommended customer action
00 = No action
01 = Check config
02 = Reset DIMM
03 = Perform warm reset
04 = Perform cold reset
05 = Perform AC power cycle
06 = Contact customer support if problem persists
07 = Retry operation
08 = Sanitize or Factory Reset
09 = Secure Erase
10 = Update Firmware
14 = Contact customer support
99 = Generic or Unknown event
