IBM Remote Supervisor Adapter II manual Non-critical, Critical, Non-recoverable, Return to normal

Note: The hard shutdown alert is sent only if a soft shutdown alert has not yet been sent.

If the system is monitored by a baseboard management controller (BMC) instead of the Remote Supervisor Adapter II, the IPMI thresholds that are supported by the BMC are displayed on the Temperature Thresholds page. The Remote Supervisor Adapter II generates an event when the threshold is reached. The BMC generates any shutdown actions, if they are required.

Non-critical

If the BMC indicates that this threshold has been reached, a warning event is generated.

Critical

If the BMC indicates that this threshold has been reached, a critical event is generated.

Non-recoverable

If the BMC indicates that this threshold has been reached, a critical event is generated.

Return to normal

If the BMC indicates that the value has exceeded any of the three thresholds and then dropped below this value, any active events are cleared.

4.Scroll down to the Voltages area. The Remote Supervisor Adapter II will send an alert if any monitored power source voltage falls outside its specified operational ranges.

If you click a voltage reading, a window similar to the one in the following illustration opens.

The Voltage Thresholds page displays the voltage ranges at which the Remote Supervisor Adapter II reacts. The voltage threshold values are preset on the remote server and cannot be changed.

The Remote Supervisor Adapter II Web interface displays the voltage readings of the system board and the voltage regulator modules (VRM). The system sets a voltage range at which the following actions are taken:

Warning Reset

When the voltage drops below or exceeds the warning voltage range and then recovers to that range, the server assumes that the voltage has returned to normal, and no further alerts are generated.

Warning

When the voltage drops below or exceeds a specified voltage range, a voltage alert is sent to configured remote alert recipients. You must select the Voltage check box on the Alerts page for the alert to be sent.
