CIGESM Messages

This section contains the Cisco Systems Intelligent Gigabit Ethernet Switch Module (CIGESM) messages.

PLATFORM_CIGESM-2-OVER_THERMAL_THRESH2: The Switch Module has exceeded its second thermal threshold.

Explanation This message means that the switch temperature has exceeded the second thermal threshold 185°F (85°C), and that the switch is operating in an environment that can cause damage to the hardware. The BladeCenter chassis will shut down the switch shortly after this condition is detected.

Response Verify that environmental conditions of the BladeCenter chassis are adequate. Do not restart the switch until the overtemperature condition has been resolved.

PLATFORM_CIGESM-3-IMAGEUPGRADEFAIL: PIC microcontroller image upgrade failed.

Explanation This message means that the PIC microcontroller image upgrade failed, because the new PIC microcontroller image failed the sanity check or failed the readback verification.

Response Perform the PIC microcontroller image upgrade again.

PLATFORM_CIGESM-4-OVER_THERMAL_THRESH1: The Switch Module has exceeded its first thermal threshold.

Explanation This message means that the switch temperature has exceeded the first thermal threshold, and the switch is still operating normally. The first thermal threshold is 167°F (75°C). Temperature inside the BladeCenter chassis should be monitored.

Response No action is required.

IPLATFORM_CIGESM-4-SWITCHRESETPIC: Keepalive ECHO failed, PIC microcontroller has been reset.

Explanation This message means that the PIC microcontroller has not responded to three consecutive keepalive messages. The switch re-set the PIC microcontroller to reestablish communication.

Response No action is required.

PLATFORM_CIGESM-4-UNDR_THERMAL_THRESH2: The Switch Module has recovered from second thermal threshold.

Explanation This message means that the switch temperature no longer exceeds the second thermal threshold of 185°F (85°C). The switch might still be operating over the first thermal threshold of 167°F (75°C). Temperature inside the chassis should be monitored.

Response No action is required.
