Alert monitor for Lenovo Flex System Chassis unclassified hardware failures

Knowledge Base article:

Summary

This monitor watches for a CMM event that indicates an Lenovo Flex System unclassified hardware failure.

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 Flex System event is delivered to this monitor asynchronously. There is no monitoring interval to configure for this monitor.

The Flex System event is delivered to this monitor from the CMM (Chassis Management Module) of the Chassis via the SNMP (Simple Network Management Protocol) protocol. It also goes through the Flex System runtime support of the Hardware Management Pack installed on the management server that was designated to manage the PureFlex System during the Network Device Discovery process.

For the proper Flex System CMM SNMP settings that are required for the Hardware Management Pack to discover Flex System modules and report events, consult the Hardware Management Pack's User's Guide.

Causes

When an unclassified hardware failure has occurred, the Flex System's CMM generates a hardware event. The event's message ID will be 0x80000000 or higher. The health state of this monitor is then set to the Critical or Warning state.

Detailed specifics about the cause of the hardware event are recorded in the alert data and in the state change record. The latest state change of this monitor reflects the severity level of the most recent hardware event recorded by this monitor.

Resolutions

Review the relevant Lenovo 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.

Additional

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