Memory ECC Events
The memory ECC event messages monitor the memory modules in a system. These messages monitor the ECC memory correction rate and the type of memory events that occurred.
Event Message | Severity | Cause |
ECC error correction detected on Bank #
DIMM [A/B]. | Information | This event is generated when there is a memory error correction on a particular Dual Inline Memory Module (DIMM). |
ECC uncorrectable error detected on Bank
# [DIMM]. | Critical | This event is generated when the chipset is unable to correct the memory errors. Usually, a bank number is provided and DIMM may or may not be identifiable, depending on the error. |
Correctable memory error logging disabled. | Critical | This event is generated when the chipset in the ECC error correction rate exceeds a predefined limit. |
Persistent correctable memory errors detected
on a memory device at location(s) <DIMM number>. | Warning | This event is generated when there is a memory error correction on a particular Dual Inline Memory Module (DIMM). |
Multi-bit memory errors detected on a
memory device at location(s) <location>. | Critical | This event is generated when the chipset is unable to correct the memory errors. Usually, more than on DIMM is listed because a single DIMM may or may not be identifiable, depending on the error. |
Correctable memory error logging disabled
for a memory device at location <location>. | Critical | This event is generated when the chipset in the ECC error correction rate exceeds a predefined limit. |
