Alert monitor for Lenovo BladeCenter RAID SAS Switch battery ill conditions
This monitor watches for a BladeCenter event that indicates a fault in the battery backup unit for the specified SAS RAID controller module.
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 a fault has occurred in the battery backup unit used to back up the cache for the specified SAS RAID controller 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.
Battery Backup Unit "Instance Number" fault condition was detected by I/O Module
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, 'Battery Backup Unit "Instance Number" fault condition was detected by I/O Module' could actually mean "Battery Backup Unit 01 fault condition was detected by I/O Module".
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 specified battery backup unit 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 Healthy state.
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.
