Introduction

Dell™OpenManage™ Server Administrator produces event messages stored primarily in the operating system or Server Administrator event logs and sometimes in SNMP traps. This document describes the event messages created by Server Administrator version 6.1 and displayed in the Server Administrator Alert log.
Server Administrator creates events in response to sensor status changes and other monitored parameters. The Server Administrator event monitor uses these status change events to add descriptive messages to the operating system event log or the Server Administrator Alert log.
Each event message that Server Administrator adds to the Alert log consists of a unique identifier called the event ID for a specific event source category and a descriptive message. The event message includes the severity, cause of the event, and other relevant information, such as the event location and the monitored item’s previous state.
Tables provided in this guide list all Server Administrator event IDs in numeric order. Each entry includes the event ID’s corresponding description, severity level, and cause. Message text in angle brackets (for example, event-specific information provided by the Server Administrator.
<State>
) describes the

Understanding Event Messages

This section describes the various types of event messages generated by the Server Administrator. When an event occurs on your system, Server Administrator sends information about one of the following event types to the systems management console:
Table 1-1. Understanding Event Messages
Icon Alert Severity Component Status
OK /Normal / Informational
Warning / Non-critical
Critical / Failure / Error
An event that describes the successful operation of a unit.
The alert is provided for informational purposes and does not indicate an error condition. For example, the alert may indicate the normal start or stop of an operation, such as power supply or a
An event that is not necessarily significant, but may indicate a possible future problem.

For example, a Warning/Non-critical

an array disk.
Introduction 9
Server Administrator generates events based on status changes in the following sensors:
Temperature Sensor
— Helps protect critical components by alerting the systems management console when temperatures become too high inside a chassis; also monitors a variety of locations in the chassis and in any attached systems.
Fan Sensor
— Monitors fans in various locations in the chassis and in any
attached systems.
Voltage Sensor
— Monitors voltages across critical components in various
chassis locations and in any attached systems.
Current Sensor
— Monitors the current (or amperage) output from the
power supply (or supplies) in the chassis and in any attached systems.
Chassis Intrusion Sensor
— Monitors intrusion into the chassis and any
attached systems.
Redundancy Unit Sensor
— Monitors redundant units (critical units such as fans, AC power cords, or power supplies) within the chassis; also monitors the chassis and any attached systems. For example, redundancy allows a second or
n
th fan to keep the chassis components at a safe temperature when another fan has failed. Redundancy is normal when the intended number of critical components are operating. Redundancy is degraded when a component fails, but others are still operating. Redundancy is lost when there is one less critical redundancy device than required.
Power Supply Sensor
— Monitors power supplies in the chassis and in any
attached systems.
Memory Prefailure Sensor
— Monitors memory modules by counting the
number of Error Correction Code (ECC) memory corrections.
Fan Enclosure Sensor
— Monitors protective fan enclosures by detecting their removal from and insertion into the system, and by measuring how long a fan enclosure is absent from the chassis. This sensor monitors the chassis and any attached systems.
AC Power Cord Sensor
— Monitors the presence of AC power for an
AC power cord.
Hardware Log Sensor
— Monitors the size of a hardware log.
