Description

A request to release the media tray failed. The advanced management module attempts to reassign ownership to the new blade server.

Causes

The cause of the problem is a management module failure to send the command to a blade to release the Media Tray selection.

Implications

The failure generates this event.

Resolutions

If the I/O devices on the media tray, such as DVD or USB ports are working or not being used, no action is required. Otherwise, perform these steps:

  1. Determine which blade server previously owned the media tray. You can determine ownership from the Blades LED page in the advanced management module Web interface.
  2. Use the advanced management module Web interface (from the Blade Power/Restart page) to reset the system management processor for the blade server that previously owned the media tray.

See the Advanced Management Module User"s Guide for more information about the Blades LED page and the Blade Power/Restart page. The guide is available from the Web.
