698 Traps
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.
SD card state:
<State of SD card>
Specifies the state of the SD card, for example:
SD card state: Present, Failed
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
