Deassert in Sensor Details:

[RaameshKeerthi]

Hi,

Please let me know what is meant by Deassert in Hardwar Sensor details?

For Example:

"Disk Drive Bay 3 ROMB Battery 0: Failed - Deassert"

Thanks and Regards

Hi Raamesh,

Deassert - to return an enabling signal to its inactive state.

I am currently investigating the same issue which I believe is down to misreporting in IPMI.  Take a look at this KB article.

• Health Status monitoring information
  
  Health status information display errors might occur because the vendor has not implemented all the necessary information or has implemented the CIM provider using an OEM specific implementation. Some typical errors include:
  • absence of memory node
    
  • display of memory device temperature under temperature node
    
  • display of Unknown status for the power node
    
  • inaccurate reading– for example 0 Watts, xyz Amps for power supplies
    
  • absence of power supply failure alarm– in such an event, only a redundancy failure warning is displayed
    
  • incorrect reading under Other node regarding system management module I2C err
    

Contact your hardware vendor if you encounter any of these unexpected health or asset information displays in your ESX/ESXi interface.
