Amber light on one of my redundant power supplies suggested something went wrong. That's what I've found in SEL:
978 | 04/21/2008 | 19:12:03 | Power Supply #0x70 | Failure detected | Deasserted 98c | 04/21/2008 | 19:12:04 | Power Unit #0x02 | Fully Redundant 9a0 | 04/21/2008 | 19:12:04 | Power Unit #0x02 | Redundancy Lost 9b4 | 04/21/2008 | 19:12:04 | Power Unit #0x02 | Non-Redundant: Sufficient from Insufficient Ok.. lets have a look: [EMAIL PROTECTED] ~]# ipmitool sdr list | grep PS PS1 AC Current | 0.06 Amps | ok PS2 AC Current | 0.93 Amps | ok PS1 +12V Current | 0 Amps | ok PS2 +12V Current | 15.50 Amps | ok PS1 +12V Power | 0 Watts | ok PS2 +12V Power | 184 Watts | ok PS1 Status | 0x03 | ok PS2 Status | 0x01 | ok Hm... OK? Let's look deeper: [EMAIL PROTECTED] ~]# ipmitool sensor get "PS2 Status" Locating sensor record... Sensor ID : PS2 Status (0x71) Entity ID : 10.2 Sensor Type (Discrete): Power Supply States Asserted : Power Supply [Presence detected] [EMAIL PROTECTED] ~]# ipmitool sensor get "PS1 Status" Locating sensor record... Sensor ID : PS1 Status (0x70) Entity ID : 10.1 Sensor Type (Discrete): Power Supply States Asserted : Power Supply [Presence detected] [Failure detected] SO, how come sensors report "ok" while it's definitly NOT OK? Another sensor also misleads: [EMAIL PROTECTED] ~]# ipmitool sdr list | grep "Power Redundancy" Power Redundancy | 0x0a | ok while: # ipmitool sensor get "Power Redundancy" Locating sensor record... Sensor ID : Power Redundancy (0x2) Entity ID : 21.1 Sensor Type (Discrete): Power Unit States Asserted : Redundancy State [Redundancy Lost] [Non-Redundant: Sufficient from Redundant] PS.
