Knowledge Article: ID B00022006: Primary MM secondary file system failed.

Description

The backup firmware image on the primary advanced management module failed during built-in self test (BIST); the image might be corrupt. The advanced management module runs the primary firmware image, but if the primary firmware image fails, a backup is not available.

Causes

The BIST checks which file system is used.

Implications

Using the primary file system instead of the secondary file system generates this event.

Resolutions

Perform these steps:

1. Update the firmware for the advanced management module. After updating the firmware, restart the advanced management module.
   
2. Generate a manual call home using Service Advisor to replace the advanced management module.
