Power Ambient error message

[jswest]

I just installed two nodes and I am getting the error message below. I think it means that my nodes are not getting clean, even power but I want to know if anyone else has gotten this or knows for sure what it means.

Thanks

Power Ambient = faulty. Power Ambient Temperature = 42

I checked in my MIB files, and couldn't find anything regarding the range of acceptable temperature for the Power Supply, but it sounds like 42c (107.6F) is a bit high, and could be triggering the warning.

Is it overly warm in the datacenter? Or it could possibly be a faulty PSU (or maybe a faulty thermo probe). I would call HP Support

Thanks, that was it. I patched my four nodes and we'll see. But that document was the answer.

I had this same problem a few months back. Prior to the patch coming out the workaround was to set the fans to run at full speed in the BIOS.

+1 for installing that patch fixes the error. I had the same but 41 degrees.
