IPMCTL-SHOW-ERROR-LOG(1)

💖 IPMCTL-SHOW-ERROR-LOG 💖

okay bestie, welcome to the ipmctl manual page for ipmctl-show-error-log — this is the one that spills the tea on what your PMem modules have been up to (specifically, their thermal and media oopsies) ✨

---

🌸 NAME 🌸

ipmctl-show-error-log — shows thermal or media errors on the specified PMem modules 🫶

---

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

ipmctl show [OPTIONS] -error (Thermal|Media) [TARGETS] [PROPERTIES]

---

💅 DESCRIPTION 💅

Shows thermal or media errors on the specified PMem modules. that's it, that's the vibe 💖

---

🎀 OPTIONS 🎀

• -a, -all — shows all the attributes, no holding back, we're nosy today 👀
• -h, -help — displays help for the command. your little bestie when you're lost 🥺
• -ddrt — used to specify DDRT as the desired transport protocol for the current invocation of ipmctl.
• -smbus — used to specify SMBUS as the desired transport protocol for the current invocation of ipmctl.

Note 📌 the -ddrt and -smbus options are mutually exclusive and may not be used together. pick a lane, babe 💀

• -lpmb — used to specify large transport payload size for the current invocation of ipmctl. big energy 🍓
• -spmb — used to specify small transport payload size for the current invocation of ipmctl.

Note 📌 the -lpmb and -spmb options are mutually exclusive and may not be used together. one or the other, fr fr 💅

• -o (text|nvmxml), -output (text|nvmxml) — changes the output format. one of: "text" (the default) or "nvmxml". choose your aesthetic 🌈

---

🦋 TARGETS 🦋

• -dimm [DimmIDs] — filter output to specific PMem modules by optionally supplying one or more comma separated PMem module identifiers. the default is to include all manageable PMem modules (so basically, everyone's invited 🎉).

---

👑 PROPERTIES 👑

• SequenceNumber — error log entries are stored with a sequence number starting with 1 and rolling over back to 1 after 65535. limit the error log entries returned by providing a sequence number. only errors with a sequence number equal to or higher than provided will be returned. the default is 1. 🔢
• Level — severity level of errors to be fetched. one of:
  • "High": High severity errors (Default)
  • "Low": Low severity errors
• Count — max number of error entries to be fetched and printed. the default is 8 for media errors and 16 for thermal errors. don't be greedy 😌

---

🌟 EXAMPLES 🌟

Show all high thermal error log entries 🔥

ipmctl show -error Thermal Level=High

Show all low media error log entries 🌸

ipmctl show -error Media Level=Low

---

😭 LIMITATIONS 😭

To successfully execute this command, the specified PMem modules must be manageable by the host software. In addition, for PMem modules with firmware version 2.3 and above, errors due to AIT operations are no longer exposed. so if you're looking for those, bestie... they're gone, periodt 💀

---

🫶 RETURN DATA 🫶

Prints errors of the specified type for the specified PMem modules. If no errors are found, the following message will be printed:

No errors found on PMem module (DimmID)
