Symptom

After updating the Advanced Management Module (AMM) firmware to Build ID: BPET62C, BPET62F, BPET62J, BPET62S, or BPET62T, the AMM event log has the entry:

  Primary Management Module (MM) local management bus failed. Failure reading device on system management bus 0.

If the system is configured with a redundant AMM, a failover may also occur.

Affected configurations

The system may be any of the following IBM servers:

  • BladeCenter H, type 7989, any model
  • BladeCenter H, type 8852, any model
  • BladeCenter S, type 1948, any model
  • BladeCenter S, type 7779, any model
  • BladeCenter S, type 8886, any model

The system is configured with one or more of the following IBM Options:

  • BladeCenter Advanced Management Module, Option part number 25R5778, Replacement part number 25R5777

This tip is not software specific.

The 62C through 62N, 62S, 62T firmware for the AMM is affected.
