2040 A software update is required.

Explanation

The software cannot determine the VPD for a FRU. Probably, a new FRU has been installed and the software does not recognize that FRU.

User response

  2. Ensure that the cluster software is at the latest level.
  3. Save dump data with configuration dump and logged data dump.
  4. Contact your product support center to resolve the problem.
  5. Mark the error that you have just repaired as fixed.
  6. Run the fix procedure from the event log menu in the GUI.
