Alert monitor for Lenovo BladeCenter media tray hardware failures
IBM.BladeCenter.MediaTrayHW.Failed (UnitMonitor)
Alert monitor for Lenovo BladeCenter media tray hardware failures
Knowledge Base article:
Summary
This monitor watches for a BladeCenter event that indicates
that an advanced management module (AMM) cannot
determine the state of the media tray.
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 the communication over the I2C bus between the AMM and
the specified media tray is lost,
the BladeCenter's AMM generates a hardware event.
The health state of this monitor is then set to the Critical or Warning state.
The AMM cannot determine the state of the media tray.
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.
Media Tray "Instance Number" hardware failure
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, 'Media Tray "Instance Number" hardware failure' could actually mean "Media Tray 01 hardware failure".
Resolutions
Review the relevant Lenovo hardware knowledge articles listed above for information about how to resolve the
hardware problem for a particular incident.
When the communication over the I2C bus between the AMM and
the specified media tray is lost,
the monitor generates an alert when its health state changes to either Critical or Warning.
After the hardware problem of the specified media tray 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.
