Data Domain: DD9800 - voltage is faulty - alert

Summary: Data Domain DD9800 Revision2 - Troubleshooting Alert: The storage processor (SP) has failed - Voltage is faulty

Article Content


Symptoms



Due to an overlapping bitmap entry, DD9800 Revision2  may indict an SP due to "Voltage is Faulty" , when the real issue is a CPU External IERR.
When both events ( CPU External IERR & "Voltage is faulty") occur simultaneously, it is safe to ignore the voltage alert, and focus troubleshooting on why the CPU encountered 
a CPU IERR. For more details on troubleshooting CPU IERR errors on DD9800 platforms, please contact your Support provider for assistance.

Affected Systems:
- DD9800 Rev 2
- DDOS 5.7.x / 6.0.x  / <6.1.3.0

Cause

This issue is found in DDOS versions 5.7 , 6.0, & 6.1

The root cause is SP fault bitmap is overlapped, so when IERR event happens , the warning message incorrectly displays "voltage is faulty"

#define  APL_FRU_FAULT_SP_CPUMISC       (1 << 17)
#define   APL_FRU_FAILEDMAP_VOLTFAULT_SP    (1 << 17)

 

Resolution

This overlapping bitmap will be fixed in DDOS 6.1.3.x
