Re: The system has detected that one of the power supplies has failed.

Hi Amir,

 

The actual event occured on:

Event Date  : Sat Sep 15 19:29:12 2012

 

 

If a persistent event keeps occurring after the repair has been made (usually hot repair).

There usually is a reminder file that SFM that triggers the event.

 

There are two files that can trigger a persistent event:

 

  • /var/opt/sfm/data/reminderEvent.dat      -  This is the more common file that will be found and needs to be removed.
  •  /var/opt/sfm/data/MemoryErrorCache.dat    - If this file is present it should be removed also.

SFM must be disabled and then re-enabled after the files are removed or events will continue to be reported. The suggested process for disable/re-enable and removing files is:

 

Disable the SFM provider module:

 

  • #cimprovider -d -m SFMProviderModule 

Remove file /var/opt/sfm/data/MemoryErrorCache.dat and/or reminderEvent.dat.

 

Enable the SFM provider module:

 

  • #cimprovider -e -m SFMProviderModule

Re: The system has detected that one of the power supplies has failed.

Hi Amir,

 

Please note it could be a intermittent hardware  issue with the Power Supply 0.

 

If required we need to change the power supply location and check whether the error is following in Power Supply 1.

 

HTH,

Surendar
