Problem Description

HDM low-probability false alarm for PMC array card Battery failed; the alarm automatically clears shortly after being triggered.

RAIDx_Super_Cap/Battery Battery failed---PCIeslot:x

 

Cause Analysis

Array card battery fault alarm reporting mechanism: The array card firmware pushes the fault information to the BMC, The BMC converts and generates SEL logs, then synchronizes and reports them to the HDM Web interface.

After this alarm is triggered, it will be automatically cleared in the next polling cycle. Analysis has determined that it was a false alarm triggered by the array card firmware, and the solution is to add debounce logic on the BMC side to avoid such false reports.

Workaround/Solutions

1. If you are currently using HDM3-1.xx or HDM3-2.xx, it is recommended to upgrade to HDM3-2.16.02 or later versions;

2. If you are currently using HDM3-3.xx, it is recommended to upgrade to HDM3-3.06 or later versions.
