Setting a resource event reminder

Complete this task to set the remind function for a resource event.

A resource event must occur before you can set an event reminder.

Event reminders allow you to postpone, but not forget, repairing a resource event. For example, you might need to set a resource event reminder if you need to request a new resource to replace a failed resource.

Setting a resource event reminder does not resume resource operation in the case of a resource failure. If you do not replace the resource, additional faults or resource events can leave your system susceptible to data loss or loss of operation. Review the service effects for the failed resource to determine the potential impact of a failed resource.

  1. Move to the rear of the server enclosure.
  2. Push the Remind button located on the rear operator panel.

    The system alert, fault on rear resource, and fault in external enclosure indicators on the front display panel and rear operator panel begin to flash.

    If the system alert indicators on the front display panel and rear operator panel change from a flashing to a solid state, another resource event has occurred.

    If you push the Remind button on the server enclosure, indicators on both the server enclosure and the expansion enclosure will flash. If you push the Remind button on the expansion enclosure, only the indicators on that expansion enclosure will flash.
