This Error and Event Message reference guide lists the messages that are displayed on graphical user interface (GUI), command line interface (CLI), and stored in the log files. Messages are displayed or stored as a result of user action, automatic event occurrence, or for data logging purposes.
For information about the event and error messages generated by the system firmware and agents that monitor system components, go to
qrl.dell.com >
Look Up > Error Code, type the error code, and then click
Look it up.
For complete description about event and error messages, see EEMI Guide at
https://qrl.dell.com/#/lookup >Error Code.
Messages are divided into three elements:
Message: Indicates the actual message, and probable cause, wherever applicable.
Recommended Response Action: Indicates the remedial tasks to be performed by the user to resolve an issue. Comprehensive information is given about the GUI navigation path (or RACADM and WS-Man commands) that helps is effective and fast resolution.
Detailed Description: Provides more info about the error or event, where appropriate.
Messages are classified according to hardware- and software categories in the server and its management applications (such as iDRAC, OMSA, CMC, and Lifecycle Controller). The category and severity of each message is also specified.
Use the EEMI reference guide to understand more about the events and resolve issues associated with your Dell Enterprise systems.
Messages are prefixed with event type to help easy identification. For example PSU, STOR, and VLT representing power supply unit, storage and voltage respectively. Expansion of acronyms used for classifying error messages is listed in the table here:

Alert category definition
System Health: Represents all the alerts that are related to hardware within the system chassis. For example, temperature errors, voltage errors, and device errors.
Storage Health: Represents alerts that are related to the storage subsystem. For example, controller errors, physical disk drive errors, and virtual drive errors.
Configuration: Represents alerts that are related to hardware, firmware, and software configuration changes. For example, PCI-e card added or removed, RAID configuration changed, and iDRAC license changed.
Audit: Category represents the audit log. Examples include, user login/logout information, Password authentication failures, session info, power states.
Update: Represents alerts that are generated because of firmware or driver upgrades and downgrades. This does not represent firmware inventory.
