SIM 5 Health Status Minor Warning

[Christopher Nowell]

I'm runnign SIM 5 to help manage my heard of BL20p's. I am getting Minor warnings for both the Health Status and the Management Processor columns on most but not all of the blades.

When I check each blade by hand, there are no decernable errors in any of the logs. I have even gone as far as to clear out every log I've got just in case. Every blade is running Windows 2k3 with the latest PSP, firmware and drivers.

Any ideas?

Do you have CPU, memory, or disk thresholds set. For example, if you set a minor CPU threshold at 50%, and your CPU is running above that, you will get a health indicator problem.

I apologize for posting this error. What happened you say? Well, our blades have fiber mezz cards in them but not all of them are connected to the SAN. Those that weren't connected were suposed to have their QLOGIC mezz cards disabled.

Somehow they became enabled, maybe due to a driver/firmware update, I don't know. They are all now disabled again and the "minor" error has gone away. Basically in SIM, if "it" doesn't have a connection, "it" should be disabled otherwise SIM will generate an error that will only serve to annoy.
