| nvmeof_raw_disk_absent | STATE_CHANGE |
WARNING |
The NVMeoF disk {id} is expected to be installed, but it is absent. | An NVMeoF disk, which is not be exported to the GNR, is absent. | The hardware monitoring system fails to detect an NVMeoF disk, which is not exported to the GNR. | Install or replace the reported NVMeoF disk. |
| nvmeof_raw_disk_enabled | STATE_CHANGE |
WARNING |
The NVMeoF disk {id} is installed, but not configured. | An NVMeoF disk, which should not be exported to GNR, is enabled. | The hardware monitoring system detects an unconfigured NVMeoF disk, which should not be exported to the GNR. | Configure the reported NVMeoF disk. |
| nvmeof_raw_disk_failed | STATE_CHANGE |
WARNING |
The NVMeoF disk {id}, which is not exported to the GNR, reports an unknown failure. | An NVMeoF disk, which is not exported to the GNR, has failed. | The hardware monitoring system detected an unknown failure of an NVMeoF disk, which is not exported to the GNR. | Check whether the NVMeoF disk is correctly installed. For more information, see the Problem Determination Guide of the relevant system. Contact IBM support if you need more help. |
| nvmeof_raw_disk_ok | STATE_CHANGE |
INFO |
The NVMeoF disk {id}, which is not exported to the GNR, runs as expected. | NVMeoF disk, which is in the raw mode, runs as expected. | N/A | N/A |
| nvmeof_raw_disk_smart_failed | STATE_CHANGE |
WARNING |
The NVMeoF disk {id}, which is not exported to the GNR, should be replaced otherwise a malfunction can occur. | The smart assessment of an NVMeoF disk, which is not exported to the GNR, has failed. | An NVMeoF disk has a failed smart assessment. This disk is not exported to the GNR. | Replace the disk. Contact IBM support if you need more help. |
| nvmeof_raw_disk_smart_ok | STATE_CHANGE |
INFO |
The smart assessment of an NVMeoF disk {id}, which is not exported to the GNR, returns a healthy report. | The smart assessment of an NVMeoF disk in the raw mode returns a healthy report. | N/A | N/A |
| nvmeof_raw_disk_smart_unknown | STATE_CHANGE |
WARNING |
The system is likely updating the status of an NVMeoF disk {id}. The process should be transient. | No smart information is received from an NVMeoF disk, which not exported to the GNR. | An NVMeoF disk does not report a smart assessment. This disk is not exported to the GNR. | If the hardware monitoring system continues to fail in getting the smart information of an NVMeoF disk for more than 15 minutes, then contact the IBM support for further assistance. |
| nvmeof_raw_disk_standby_offline | STATE_CHANGE |
WARNING |
The NVMeoF disk {id} is set to an offline state by the user. | An NVMeoF disk, which should not be exported to the GNR, is set to an offline state. | The hardware monitoring system detects an NVMeoF disk that was put to an offline state. This disk was not exported to the GNR before. | Activate the offline NVMeoF disk. |
| nvmeof_raw_disk_unavailable_offline | STATE_CHANGE |
WARNING |
The NVMeoF disk {id} is set offline by an unknown reason. | An NVMeoF disk, which should not be exported to GNR, is set offline without known reason. | The hardware monitoring system detects an offline NVMeoF disk. This disk is not be exported to the GNR and is set offline without any known reason. | Check for possible problems like missing power, etc. For more information, see the Problem Determination Guide of the relevant system. Contact IBM support if you need more help. |
| nvmeof_raw_disk_unknown | STATE_CHANGE |
WARNING |
The system is likely updating the status of an NVMeoF disk {id}. The process should be transient. | The status of an NVMeoF disk, which is not exported to the GNR, is unknown. | The hardware monitoring system fails to get the status of an NVMeoF disk, which not exported to the GNR. | If the hardware monitoring continues to fail in getting the NVMeoF disk status for more than 15 minutes, then contact IBM support for more information. |
