Hmm.. Neither do I, but it is peculiar that info like probe name etc. for power monitoring probes is available via SNMP if power monitoring is unsupported. >> I believe that your R410 has power monitoring capability, but that the >> new BMC firmware has messed things up. > [...] >> Yes, definately.

The thing that triggers the alert is the status of the probe, as reported via SNMP. Clearly, the status was Ok with BMC 1.33 but has changed to something else with updated BMC firmware. An snmpwalk should reveal this (see below). >> It may be that your current OMSA installation is not compatible with the >> new BMC, or vice versa.
