[joseph51]

Hi,

I have one PA-RISC server rp4440.The customer is getting the errors like

>------------ Event Monitoring Service Event Notification ------------<

Notification Time: Sat Jul 18 14:03:48 2009

hestau02 sent Event Monitor notification information:

/system/events/ia64_corehw/core_hw is >= 3.
Its current value is CRITICAL(5).



Event data from monitor:

Event Time..........: Sat Jul 18 14:03:48 2009
Severity............: CRITICAL
Monitor.............: ia64_corehw
Event #.............: 104011
System..............: hestau02.hess.pri.com

Summary:
Power Unit : Redundancy lost or not present.


Description of Error:

The number of Power supplies has gone from N+1 (redundant) to N
(non-redundant) if a Power supply was removed, or the number of Power
supplies is < N+1.

Probable Cause / Recommended Action:

The minimum number of power supplies required to power the unit is
currently installed and operating. There are no redundant I/O power
supplies available in case of failure. If redundancy is desired another
Power supply should be added.

hi,

this is a normal error message, if some power outage happen, so if your power status from MP showing no error, it should be ok, check eventlog in the MP if there is any record about this incident.

Hi,

Are you getting this event regularly? If you gets once then it could be some power disturbance or power cable loose connection.

If you are getting this ems event regularly and all the power supply are ok, then it could be some sensor issue. Involve HP to analyse it.

Hi Binu,

You are seeing the old events triggered by EMS, not sure why these are reported but my suggestion would be to clear the MP logs (SL) both SEL and FPL and monitor for further alerts.

As they may be old messages, this still indicates some problems that need attention:

"System Power state: On
Temperature : Status is not available"


The BMC and iLO are are out of date, suggest you update it to 46.34C resolve several critical issues:
