System and Method for Storing Operating Life History on a Non-volatile Dual Inline Memory Module

A method, comprising:

• providing, on a non-volatile dual in-line memory module (NVDIMM), a first partition of non-volatile memory, wherein the first partition is a reserved partition that is not accessible to an operating system instantiated on the information handling system, and wherein the first partition includes a first region and a second region;
• providing, on the NVDIMM, a second partition of non-volatile memory, wherein the second partition is accessible to the operating system;
• configuring, by a processor, the NVDIMM based upon information from the first region;
• detecting, by the processor, a first error associated with the NVDIMM;
• and
• writing, by the processor, first information associated with the first error to the second region.

An information handling system, comprising:

• a DC persistent memory module configured to instantiate a first partition of non-volatile memory and a second partition of non-volatile memory, the first partition being a reserved partition that is not accessible to an operating system instantiated on the information handling system and including a first region and a second region, and the second partition being accessible to the operating system;
• and
• a processor configured to:
• initialize the NVDIMM based upon information from the first region;
• detect a first error associated with the NVDIMM;
• and
• write first information associated with the first error to the second region.
