Traps 573
Understanding Trap Severity
Traps often contain information about values recorded by probes or sensors. Probes and sensors monitor
critical components for values such as amperage, voltage, and temperature. When an event occurs on
your system, the Server Administrator sends information about one of the following event types to the
system management console:
• Information/Informational — An event that describes the successful operation of a unit, such as a
power supply turning on or a sensor reading returning to normal.
•
Warning — An event that is not necessarily significant, but may indicate a possible future problem,
such as crossing a warning threshold.
•
Critical/Error — A significant event that indicates actual or imminent loss of data or loss of function,
such as crossing a failure threshold or a hardware failure.
Power Supply type: <type of power
supply>
Specifies the type of power supply, for example:
Power Supply type: VRM
Pre-failure state was: <
State > Specifies the status of the previous memory message, for example:
Pre-failure state was: Failed
Previous redundancy state was:
<
State >
Specifies the status of the previous redundancy message,
for example:
Previous redundancy state was: Lost
Previous state was: <
State > Specifies the previous state of the sensor, for example:
Previous state was: OK (Normal)
Processor sensor status:
<status>
Specifies the status of the processor sensor, for example:
Processor sensor status: Configuration error
Redundancy unit:
<
Redundancy location in chassis >
Specifies the location of the redundant power supply or cooling
unit in the chassis, for example:
Redundancy unit: Fan Enclosure
Sensor location:
<
Location in chassis >
Specifies the location of the sensor in the specified chassis,
for example:
Sensor location: CPU1
Temperature sensor value (in
degrees Celsius):
<
Reading >
Specifies the temperature in degrees Celsius, for example:
Temperature sensor value (in degrees Celsius): 30
Voltage sensor value (in Volts):
<
Reading >
Specifies the voltage sensor value in volts, for example:
Voltage sensor value: 1.693
