Issue with a Blade 460c

Pedr_1 — Tue, 22 Mar 2011 18:17:23 GMT

Hello everybody

I have an Enclosure 7000c with all bays full. One of blades, it shows me as degraded, at IML Log this appears:
Server Blade Enclosure Inadequate Power To Power (Enclosure Address 0000, Slot 2)

And some messages like this:
CPU(s) operating at reduced performance level due to an enclosure power event.

Power System is well, it doesn't report me anything.

Can somebody tell me how can I resolve this problem???

Thanks.

Check the reportet power consumption, on the other servers.

Especially if you got servers with PMC ver 3.3, It's got a known issue, with the power usage reporting.
If it report a high usage, you can't power more servers on.

Do you see any errors in OA syslog with respect to this blade server Bay.

Is it Vmware ESX installed blade?

Hello again

This is OA firmware: 2.51 May 28 2009.

In others blades I see this warning:

CPU(s) operating at reduced performance due to an enclosure power event.

But they are working well....

Probably a stupid question, but,

Do you have a full compliment of 6 power supplies?

Is dynamic power mode enabled, or not??

Have you set a "Static Power Limit"?

Dave.
