This warning would appear if you have hardware errors.

For example, if your host has 2 power supplies and you are only using one, or if one of your poswer supplies is faulty (or you have a loose cable connection etc)

It would be worth running a hardware diagnostic if you have your vendor's hardware tools.

If your server has a remote console like HP ILO, Dell DRAC, you could connect to this and view hardware status to check the problem.

good luck

Hi,

This alarm is related fonts the hardware if your host hardware has two specific sources check if the two are connected, if not this, make sure there is some fluctuation in the hardware if it is a blade, you can check the logs.

If the problem is not hardware may be in the sensitivity of the alarm. You can adjust the alarm sensitivity to suit your need.

thanks!
