A
lert Log Messages From the
Dell HIP Program
The Dell Hardware Instrumentation Package (HIP)
server management application program generates alert
messages which appear in the simple network manage-
ment protocol (SNMP) trap log file. To see the trap log,
select any enterprise under the SNMP trap log icon.
(More information about the Alert Log window and
options is provided in the Dell HIP online help and the
Dell HIP User’s Guide.)
Alert log messages consist of information, status, warn-
ing, and failure messages for drive, temperature, fan, and
power conditions. They can assist you with identifying a
problem and may provide you with information to help
you resolve the problem.
Table 3-3 alphabetically lists critical HIP alert log mes-

Message Cause Action
Composite drive failure
detected.
A composite drive has failed in the
specified server. If possible, the
chassis number is provided.
Notify the supervisor. Determine
which physical drive(s) have failed
within the composite, and remove
and replace the failed drive(s). You
will then need to configure the
drive. If a drive replaced was not a
redundant drive, the information
contained on that drive is lost.
Fan sensor detected a
failure.
A failure of one or more fans was
detected by the thermal-monitoring
facility in the specified server. If
possible, the fan number is also pro-
vided.
Check for a possible blockage on or
inadequate ventilation around the
fan. If the fan is not blocked and
ventilation is adequate, check fan
connections. If the problem persists,
replace the fan. See “Replacing a
Cooling Fan” in Chapter 8.
Fan sensor warning
detected.
A fan sensor reading on the
specified server has exceeded the
user-settable thresholds. If possible,
the fan number is also provided.
Check for a possible blockage on or
inadequate ventilation around the
fan. If the fan is not blocked and
ventilation is adequate, check fan
connections. If the problem persists,
replace the fan. See “Replacing a
Cooling Fan” in Chapter 8.
