Hi
Post by Piotr JasiukajtisHi,
Where can I find more information regarding these error names?
The Intel docs for your processor (which can usually be found
on the developer.intel.com site, but take some digging) should
include this string or something close to it.
In the "ereports" that Solaris raises for MCA errors we include
the raw MCi_STATUS etc info and some interpretation of that.
Part of that is the rendering of the strings like MC_CH_RD_ERR
which is what the Intel and AMD docs list as an interpretation of
the error type. But the docs essentially give you a format
string and then you have to fill in the template based on
the status values.
I suspect you must have gotten these strings from the fmdump -eV
output? The ereport class is (arguably) more descriptive.
These look like Quickpath memory ECC errors during a read
operation, and I think the class you'll see is
ereport.cpu.intel.quickpath.mem_ce. These events are fed
into a diagnosis engine which will tolerate a number of
memory ECC errors but may eventually diagnose a dimm
as faulty. Unless you are seeing other memory related
errors (like resets) or are experiencing zillions of these
errors I wouldn't worry about them.
Cheers
