After a memory error, the Event Data shown by *ipmitool sel list -v* used to identify the location of the problematic DIMM using the 4th and 6th digits (for group and dimm position respectively).
One of my PowerEdge 1950 servers isn't doing that. The LCD said *E2111 SBE Log Disabled DIMM 6* and ipmitool showed these events: SEL Record ID : 0002 Record Type : 02 Timestamp : 06/25/2009 11:53:46 Generator ID : 00b1 EvM Revision : 04 Sensor Type : Memory Sensor Number : 1b Event Type : Generic Discrete Event Direction : Assertion Event Event Data : a1f020 Description : Transition to Non-critical from OK SEL Record ID : 0003 Record Type : 02 Timestamp : 06/25/2009 11:53:46 Generator ID : 00b1 EvM Revision : 04 Sensor Type : Memory Sensor Number : 1b Event Type : Generic Discrete Event Direction : Assertion Event Event Data : a2f020 Description : Transition to Critical from less severe We shuffled the DIMMs shifting each by two slots and the LCD changed to *E2111 SBE Log Disabled DIMM 5* but ipmitool says:* * SEL Record ID : 0006 Record Type : 02 Timestamp : 06/25/2009 19:05:34 Generator ID : 00b1 EvM Revision : 04 Sensor Type : Memory Sensor Number : 1b Event Type : Generic Discrete Event Direction : Assertion Event Event Data : a1f010 Description : Transition to Non-critical from OK SEL Record ID : 0007 Record Type : 02 Timestamp : 06/25/2009 19:14:35 Generator ID : 00b1 EvM Revision : 04 Sensor Type : Memory Sensor Number : 1b Event Type : Generic Discrete Event Direction : Assertion Event Event Data : a2f010 Description : Transition to Critical from less severe The fourth and sixth digits in each case are zero. The fifth digit changed from 2 to 1 when the error moved from DIMM6 to DIMM5 but does anyone know definitively how to identify the DIMM location without looking at the LCD? Thanks, Kevin * *
