11.4.1 System Event – PEF Action – Next Steps
This event gets logged if the BMC takes an action due to PEF configuration. Actions can be sending an alert, along with possibly
resetting, power cycling, or powering down the system. There will be another event that has led to the action so you need to
investigate the SEL and PEF settings to identify this event, and troubleshoot accordingly.
