Implication With the first power redundancy lost event detected, the system status LED will

change the state to flashing Green and the system event log will display the

event as shown below.

Power Unit, Pwr Unit Redund (#0x2) Informational event: Pwr Unit Redund

reports full redundancy has been lost. Integrated BMC - LUN#0 (Channel#0)

After hot swapping the faulty power supply, which would change the state of

the system back to normal (system status LED goes back to solid Green), the

system will NOT report any further power redundancy lost events, until an AC

cycle of the server is performed.

Status This issue was fixed in BMC 01.17.4151 and later release.

24. BMC will generate flood event log and send PEF continuously

Problem 1. Use IPMI tool to set a PEF (6 commands)

ipmitool –H xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx –U xxx –P xxxxxx raw 0x04 0x12 0x01 0x01

ipmitool –H xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx –U xxx –P xxxxxx raw 0x04 0x12 0x02 0x01

ipmitool –H xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx –U xxx –P xxxxxx raw 0x04 0x12 0x9 0x14 0xa8

0x1f 0x0

ipmitool –H xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx –U xxx –P xxxxxx raw 0x04 0x12 0x6 0x14 0x80

0x1 0xa 0x10 0xff 0xff 0xff 0xff 0xff 0xff 0xff 0x0 0x0 0x0 0x0 0x0 0x0 0x0 0x0 0x0

ipmitool –H xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx –U xxx –P xxxxxx raw 0x0c 0x01 0x1 0x12 0xf

0x80 0x5 0x7

ipmitool –H xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx –U xxx –P xxxxxx raw 0x0c 0x01 0x1 0x13 0xf 0x0

0x0 0xa 0x24 0x71 0x7b 0x0 0x0 0x0 0x0 0x0 0x0

2. Go to BMC web console and go to configurations=>alert, check all alert and

must set destination IP to remote concole =>Save

3. Try to generate an event (unplug power), you can see there are a lot of event in

event log and make event log full.

4. Even when restore the PSU, the SEL is continuing to grow w/o PSU

redundancy regain.

Implication The flood even log will fulfill the SEL in several minutes

Status The issue may be fix in future BMC release

Workaround Restore the system and uncheck all alerts in BMC web console.

25. Reported processor frequency is lower than expected when the BIOS

setup option EIST is disabled and the system is also in idle mode

Problem When the system is in idle mode during OS runtime and EIST is disabled in

BIOS setup, the reported processor speed may report a lower than expected

frequency.

Implication EIST may function incorrectly.
