Event Message Severity Cause
Fan <number> RPM is less than
the lower critical threshold.
Critical The speed of the specified fan is not
sufficient to provide enough cooling to the
system.
Fan <number> RPM is greater
than the upper warning
threshold.
Warning The speed of the specified fan exceeded
the warning threshold.
Fan <number> RPM is greater
than the upper critical
threshold.
Critical The speed of the specified fan exceeded
the critical threshold.
Fan <number> RPM is outside of
range.
Critical The speed of the specified fan might not
provide enough cooling to the system.
Fan <number> RPM is within
range.
Information The speed of the specified fan is operating
in a normal range.
Fan <number> is removed.
Critical A required fan was removed.
Fan <number> was inserted.
Information A fan was added.
Fan <number> is present.
Information The total number of fans present.
Fan <number> is absent.
Critical A required fan is missing.
The fans are redundant.
Information One or more fans may have started
functioning or installed and the redundancy
has been regained.
Fan redundancy is lost.
Critical One or more required fans may have failed
or removed and hence, the redundancy was
lost.
Fan redundancy is degraded.
Warning One or more fans may have failed or
removed and hence, the redundancy has
been degraded.
Processor Status Events
The processor status messages monitor the functionality of the processors in a system. These messages provide processor health and
warning information of a system.
Table 8. Processor Status Events
Event Message Severity Cause
<Processor Entity> status
processor sensor IERR, where
<Processor Entity> is the
processor that generated the
event. For example, PROC for a
single processor system and
PROC # for multiprocessor
system.
Critical IERR internal error generated by the
<Processor Entity>. This event is generated
due to processor internal error.
<Processor Entity> status
processor sensor Thermal Trip.
Critical The processor generates this event before
it shuts down because of excessive heat
caused by lack of cooling or heat
synchronization.
<Processor Entity> status
processor sensor recovered
from IERR.
Information This event is generated when a processor
recovers from the internal error.
<Processor Entity> status
processor sensor disabled.
Warning This event is generated for all processors
that are disabled.
