This monitor watches for events related to the Flex Chassis's I/O module that may affect the operation of this blade.
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.
Hardware-platform-specific events, such as this one, are delivered asynchronously
to this monitor. There is no monitoring interval to configure for this monitor.
The hardware event with this monitor is available only on an Lenovo System
with the appropriate hardware sensors and with a management controller
(also called a Service Processor), such as Integrated Management Module
(IMM), Baseboard Management Controller (BMC), Remote Supervisor Adapter
(RSA), or an equivalent management controller on an older Lenovo System.
This monitor depends on hardware instrumentation software, namely the
IBM Director Platform Agent (also called Core Services) and the Intelligent
Platform Management Interface (IPMI) driver stack. This software raises
the hardware event to the WMI level, so that the monitor can be notified.
On certain configurations, the RSA daemon can be used in place of, or
in parallel with, the IPMI driver stack. See the "Additional Information"
section below for more information about IBM Director Platform Agent,
the IPMI driver stack and the RSA daemon.
Causes
When events occur on the Flex Chassis's I/O module that may affect the operation of this blade,
the health state of this monitor is then set to the Critical or Warning state.
For the exact details of this event, consult the Flex Chassis view of this Management Pack and look at this blade's Flex Chassis.
The relevant Lenovo hardware knowledge articles are available on a system with the Lenovo hardware Management Pack
package installed.
Resolutions
Visit Lenovo Flex Chassis IO Modules view and review and resolve any pending error.
To verify that the hardware problem has been resolved,
review Lenovo Flex Chassis IO Modules view and verify Lenovo Flex Chassis IO Modules are healthy.
The monitor generates an alert when its health state changes to either Critical or Warning.
After the Lenovo Flex Chassis Module 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.
