Alert monitor for Lenovo BladeCenter I/O module power redundancy lost

Knowledge Base article:

Summary

This monitor watches for a BladeCenter event that indicates that the power redundancy has been lost for the I/O module.

Configuration

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.

Causes

When power redundancy is lost for the specified I/O 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 Lenovo hardware knowledge articles are available on a system with the Lenovo Hardware Management Pack package installed.

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, 'I/O module "Instance Number" - Open fuse detected. Power redundancy lost for this module.' could actually mean "I/O module 01 - Open fuse detected. Power redundancy lost for this module.".

Resolutions

Review the relevant Lenovo hardware knowledge articles listed above for information about how to resolve the hardware problem for a particular incident.

The monitor generates an alert when its health state changes to either Critical or Warning. After the I/O module problem is resolved, manually reset the health state of this monitor. See the "Reset Health" topic in the Operations Manager's Operations User's Guide for more information. Any outstanding corresponding alerts will be automatically closed when the health state of this monitor returns to the normal state.

Additional

For the proper AMM SNMP settings needed for the Hardware Management Pack, see the "Configuring BladeCenter SNMP settings" topic in the Lenovo Hardware Management Pack for Microsoft System Center Operations Manager Installation and User's Guide.
