Event sensor status GUI display
The event sensor status GUI display is a way to quickly determine the general health status of the server without having to look at the detailed system event log (SEL) information.
To view the event sensor status GUI display, log in to the BMC web interface. The sensors and values appear on the first page (the dashboard).
Some occurrences of errors in the system might not appear in the event sensor GUI. After you view the event sensor status GUI display, use the SEL logs to view any active SEL events that indicate a service action event.
Event sensor status display operation
Most sensors are initially gray, then change status and color during the boot process when the FRU is initialized and either determined to be good (green) or faulty (red). No sensor display is available until you can get to the sensor display selection on the BMC, which means that the system attains a certain power level or that the BMC finishes initializing. The indicator color of the sensor is determined based on the sensor status at time of invocation of the display. The sensor display maintains the sensor status indicator color until the display is refreshed, which updates the sensor value with the latest status. Changes to SEL events changes color of sensor indicator when you refresh or restart the display. Sensor status display also starts over with a reboot or a power cycle with a few exceptions, indicated in Table 1.
Event sensor status indicator descriptions
- FRU not plugged
- Sensor not initialized
- Sensor function is not initialized
- Critical threshold exceeded (an event requires a service action)
- Service action required for hard fail
- Partial function failure that reached a "service action required" state
- A deconfigured resource requires service action
- FRU or sensor is plugged in and fully operational
- Recoverable event is below the critical "service action required" threshold
- FRU or sensor returned to "normal" operating range (for threshold sensors)
Sensor state values during boot process
- Initial power on to BMC ready state
- In this stage, some indicator values might not reflect the status of the physical sensor. In some instances, the state is not available because the sensor is not initialized; in this case, the sensor color is gray. In other cases (typically associated with Host Boot sensors), the value of the sensor shows the state when the system was operational. These sensors update to indicate the current status if the display is refreshed when the system reaches the Petitboot stage of operation. Table 1 shows the affected indicators.
- BMC ready to PetitBoot or Host operation state
- When the system reaches the Petitboot menu stage, and you refresh the display, all of the indicators reflect their operational state.
