Problems with BladeCenter® shared
resources might appear to be in the blade server, but might actually
be a problem in a BladeCenter unit
power component.
To check the general function of shared BladeCenter power resources, perform
the following procedure.
- Verify that the LEDs on all the BladeCenter power modules are lit.
- Verify that power is being supplied to the BladeCenter unit.
- Verify that the installation of the blade server type is
supported by the BladeCenter unit.
- Verify that the power configuration of the BladeCenter unit supports the blade bay
where your blade server is installed. See the online documentation
for your BladeCenter unit.
- Verify that the BladeCenter unit
power management configuration and status support blade server operation.
See the online information for your management module or
the Management Module User's Guide or the Management
Module Command-Line Interface Reference Guide for more information.
- Verify that the local power control for the blade server
is set correctly.
See the online information for your
management module or the Management Module User's Guide or
the Management Module Command-Line Interface Reference Guide for
more information.
- Verify that the BladeCenter unit
blowers are correctly installed and operational.
If these steps do not resolve the problem, it is likely
a problem with the blade server. See Power problems for
more information.
