Alert monitor for IBM BladeCenter cooling module unrecognized
This monitor watches for a BladeCenter event that indicates an unrecognized chassis cooling device on a blade server.
You can disable this monitor through the Operations Manager's Operations Console. See the "Disable monitors" topic in the Operations Manager's Operations User's Guide for more information.
The BladeCenter event is delivered to this monitor asynchronously. There is no monitoring interval to configure for this monitor.
The BladeCenter event is delivered to this monitor from the AMM (Advanced Management Module) of the BladeCenter via the SNMP (Simple Network Management Protocol) protocol. It also goes through the BladeCenter runtime support of the Hardware Management Pack installed on the management server that was designated to manage the BladeCenter during the Network Device Discovery process.
For the proper BladeCenter AMM SNMP settings that are required for the Hardware Management Pack to discover BladeCenter modules and report events, consult the Hardware Management Pack's User's Guide.
When the management module does not recognize the vital product data for the fan module, the BladeCenter's AMM generates a hardware event. The health state of this monitor is then set to the Critical or Warning state.
For a particular incident, review the history in the State Changes tab. Consult the relevant hardware knowledge articles listed below, keeping in mind the relevant event data.
The relevant IBM hardware knowledge articles are available on a system with the IBM Hardware Management Pack package installed.
Unrecognized Chassis Cooling Device "Instance Number"
The "Instance Number" can be found as the numeric part of the name/description for an alert or event, and it reflects the number of the bay/module. For instance, 'Unrecognized Chassis Cooling Device "Instance Number"' could actually mean "Unrecognized Chassis Cooling Device 01".
Review the relevant IBM hardware knowledge articles listed above for information about how to resolve the hardware problem for a particular incident.
After the hardware problem is resolved, manually reset the health state of this monitor. However, any outstanding corresponding alerts will be automatically closed. See the "Reset Health" topic in the Operations Manager's Operations User's Guide for more information.
To verify that the hardware problem has been resolved, refer to the most recent health state of the corresponding "regular health checkup monitor." Be sure to refer to a health state that was reported later than the hardware event.
For the proper AMM SNMP settings needed for the Hardware Management Pack, see the "Configuring BladeCenter SNMP settings" topic in the IBM Hardware Management Pack for Microsoft System Center Operations Manager Installation and User's Guide.
