The events that are reported for these application types are usually important hardware related events identified by the platform management card; for example, hardware faults. There are two types of Status that can be displayed for platforms
Power Status: Can be Running or Stopped. The Event Console displays the power status. The power status is the DC power ON or OFF state of the platform during a user action on that device (AUDIT events) or during an occurrence of an event (Hardware and software events polled from s-Par and PMC).
Health Status: Can be OK, Warning, Critical or Unknown. The Summary page of the platform displays the health status. The health status is based on the criticality of the event that is reported for the platform. An example of the platform health status is ‘Critical’. If there is atleast one Critical event generated for a platform, the status of the platform is shown as Critical. If there are no Critical events for that platform, and there are only warning events available, then, the status of the platform is shown as Warning.
Notes:
On the Platform Management Card, the time stamp value is based on UTC time zone. This is the default time zone setting for the PMC. It is recommended not to change this setting.
To know the health status of the platform, which is based on the criticality of the device that reported the event, on the Fabric Manager UI, select CPF System, select the required platform and then select the Summary tab. The Platform Overview section displays the Health status.
IPMI_SEL and SPAR events in any operation state other than CLOSED state reflect the health status of the platform.
For a partitionable EPP, both IPMI_SEL and SPAR events are consolidated to reflect the health status. For example, if there is an open Critical IPMI_SEL event and an open Warning SPAR event, then health status is shown as Critical.
For a non-partitionable EPP, only the IPMI_SEL event severity is considered for indicating the health status.
When Fabric Manager cannot communicate with the partition, the Health status is Warning. However, no event is generated in this case.
The following table describes the possible status displayed on the event console for the events reported by the IPMI_SEL and SPAR Application Types.
Status | Description |
|---|---|
Running | Displayed when the DC power state of the platform is ON when the user action was performed or when the system triggered the event. |
Stopped | Displayed when the DC power state of the platform is OFF. |
The following table provides information about the Health Status displayed for the platform and the severity values reported by the Application.
Platform Health Status | Description | Severity value |
|---|---|---|
OK | Displayed if the platform health is ok, that is, no concern causing events like warning or critical occurred on the platform. | OK, Low, Informational, Performance, Statistic, Normal |
Warning | Displayed if atleast one outstanding warning event occurred on the platform. | Minor, Warning |
Critical | Displayed if atleast one outstanding critical event occurred on the platform. | Critical, High, Fatal, Major, Serious |
Unknown | Displayed if no information is known about event that occurred on the platform. | Unknown |
