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.

Table 1. Memory ECC Events
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.
