Solution Type Problem Resolution Sure Solution 1009944.1 : Sun StorageTek[TM] 5320 NAS: Fault LED on Head Lights Up With No Apparent Fault

In all cases reported, there is no disruption to the operation of the NAS appliance whatsoever, except the lighted LED caused concerns from customer on a possible hardware failure. Analyzing the collected data did not provide any indication for a fault present in the system, but the Service LED turned on.
The 5320 NAS head is based on the Galaxy server X4200 with the Integrated Lights Out Management (ILOM) facility. A closer look from the head's service processor (SP), accessed through the serial management port, it was found that there were voltage events that had occurred some time ago which had likely triggered the LED.

CauseIn effect, there were 2 causes identified
Both causes has been forwared to the responsible product develpment team The first problem was reproduced after applying noise to the power line where the NAS head was plugged in, where a similar voltage event occurred and the LED lighted. This problem has been noted to Galaxy PDE as Bug ID 6862216. While the second problem has been filed as Bug ID 6568034 to the NAS development team. NAS uses the default value "-10000V" when not able to read a sensor.
SolutionOne Workaround is lternatively, shutdown and power cycling the head which would clear the LED by resetting the Service Processor. This would be disruptive to the NAS operation, especially if it is a stand alone system, while a cluster could do a take over. This workaround can be carried out by system administrator during a scheduled mainteance window, there is no urgency to apply the workaround once a support engineer has identified there is no fault present. Alternatively a FE could be dispatched to hook his laptop to the serial console covered by a sticker saying 'Service Only' and after connected to ILOM he could use the command below. -> reset /SP This does not affect the normal operation of the NAS head since the SP is independent from the main system. This would be the preferred workaround method if customer insists on doing the SP reboot without interruption to the production, but it requires someone with the right equipment to connect to the SP and issue the reset command. Even with this product in state of EOL and nearing its EOSL date it would be helpful to collect some additional diagnostic data like a ILOM snapshot.
