**H_SCM_HEALTH**
| Input: drcIndex
| Out: *health-bitmap, health-bit-valid-bitmap*
| Out: *health-bitmap (r4), health-bit-valid-bitmap (r5)*
| Return Value: *H_Success, H_Parameter, H_Hardware*
Given a DRC Index return the info on predictive failure and overall health of
the NVDIMM. The asserted bits in the health-bitmap indicate a single predictive
failure and health-bit-valid-bitmap indicate which bits in health-bitmap are
valid.
the PMEM device. The asserted bits in the health-bitmap indicate one or more states
(described in table below) of the PMEM device and health-bit-valid-bitmap indicate
which bits in health-bitmap are valid. The bits are reported in
reverse bit ordering for example a value of 0xC400000000000000
indicates bits 0, 1, and 5 are valid.
Health Bitmap Flags:
+------+-----------------------------------------------------------------------+
| Bit | Definition |
+======+=======================================================================+
| 00 | PMEM device is unable to persist memory contents. |
| | If the system is powered down, nothing will be saved. |

| 01 | PMEM device failed to persist memory contents. Either contents were |
| | not saved successfully on power down or were not restored properly on |
| | power up. |
+------+-----------------------------------------------------------------------+
| 02 | PMEM device contents are persisted from previous IPL. The data from |

| 03 | PMEM device contents are not persisted from previous IPL. There was no|

| 04 | PMEM device memory life remaining is critically low |
+------+-----------------------------------------------------------------------+
| 05 | PMEM device will be garded off next IPL due to failure |
+------+-----------------------------------------------------------------------+
| 06 | PMEM device contents cannot persist due to current platform health |

| | restored. |

| 07 | PMEM device is unable to persist memory contents in certain conditions|
+------+-----------------------------------------------------------------------+
| 08 | PMEM device is encrypted |
