Configuring Settings for Faults, Events, and Logs
This chapter includes the following sections:
Configuring Settings for the Fault Collection Policy
Global Fault
Policy
The global fault
policy controls the lifecycle of a fault in a
Cisco UCS domain, including when faults are cleared, the flapping interval (the
length of time between the fault being raised and the condition being cleared),
and the retention interval (the length of time a fault is retained in the
system).
A
fault in
Cisco UCS has the following lifecycle:
-
A condition occurs
in the system and
Cisco UCS Manager raises a fault. This is the active state.
-
When the fault is
alleviated, it enters a flapping or soaking interval that is designed to
prevent flapping. Flapping occurs when a fault is raised and cleared several
times in rapid succession. During the flapping interval, the fault retains its
severity for the length of time specified in the global fault policy.
-
If the condition
reoccurs during the flapping interval, the fault returns to the active state.
If the condition does not reoccur during the flapping interval, the fault is
cleared.
-
The cleared fault
enters the retention interval. This interval ensures that the fault reaches the
attention of an administrator even if the condition that caused the fault has
been alleviated and the fault has not been deleted prematurely. The retention
interval retains the cleared fault for the length of time specified in the
global fault policy.
-
If the condition
reoccurs during the retention interval, the fault returns to the active state.
If the condition does not reoccur, the fault is deleted.
Configuring the Global Fault Policy
Procedure
Step 1
| In the
Navigation pane, click
Admin.
|
Step 2
| Expand
.
|
Step 3
| Click
Settings.
|
Step 4
| In the
Work pane, click the Global Fault Policy tab. |
Step 5
| In the Global Fault Policy tab, complete the following fields:
Name
|
Description
|
Flapping Interval field
|
Flapping
occurs when a fault is raised and cleared several times in rapid succession. To
prevent this,
Cisco UCS Manager does not allow a fault to change its state until this amount of
time has elapsed since the last state change.
If the
condition reoccurs during the flapping interval, the fault returns to the
active state. If the condition does not reoccur during the flapping interval,
the fault is cleared. What happens at that point depends on the setting in the
Clear Action field.
Enter an
integer between 5 and 3,600. The default is 10.
|
Initial Severity field
|
This can
be one of the following:
|
Action on Acknowledgment field
|
Acknowledged actions are always deleted when the log is cleared.
This option cannot be changed.
|
Clear Action field
|
The action
Cisco UCS Manager takes when a fault is cleared. This can be one of the following:
|
Clear Interval field
|
Whether
Cisco UCS Manager automatically clears faults after a certain length of time. This
can be one of the following:
|
dd:hh:mm:ss field
|
The
number of days, hours, minutes, and seconds that should pass before
Cisco UCS Manager automatically marks that fault as cleared. What happens then
depends on the setting in the
Clear Action field.

Configuring Fault Suppression
Fault
Suppression
Fault suppression
allows you to suppress SNMP trap and Call Home notifications during a planned
maintenance time. You can create a fault suppression task to prevent
notifications from being sent whenever a transient fault is raised or cleared.
Faults remain
suppressed until the time duration has expired, or the fault suppression tasks
have been manually stopped by the user. After the fault suppression has ended,
Cisco UCS Manager will send notifications for any outstanding suppressed faults
that have not been cleared.
Fault suppression uses
the following:
Fixed Time
Intervals or Schedules
You can use the
following to specify the maintenance window during which you want to suppress
faults.
-
Fixed time
intervals allow you to create a start time and a duration when fault
suppression is active. Fixed time intervals cannot be reused.
-
Schedules are
used for one time occurrences or recurring time periods and can be saved and
reused.
Suppression
Policies
These policies define which causes and types of faults you want
to suppress. Only one policy can be assigned to a task. The following policies
are defined by
Cisco UCS Manager:
-
default-chassis-all-maint—Suppresses faults for the
chassis and all components installed into the chassis, including all servers,
power supplies, fan modules, and IOMs.
This
policy applies only to chassis.
-
default-chassis-phys-maint—Suppresses faults for the
chassis and all fan modules and power supplies installed into the chassis.
This
policy applies only to chassis.
-
default-fex-all-maint—Suppresses faults for the FEX
and all power supplies, fan modules, and IOMs in the FEX.
This
policy applies only to FEXes.
-
default-fex-phys-maint—Suppresses faults for the FEX
and all fan modules and power supplies in the FEX.
This
policy applies only to FEXes.
-
default-server-maint—Suppresses faults for servers.
This
policy applies to chassis, organizations, and service profiles.
Note |
When
applied to a chassis, only servers are affected.
|
Note |
Cisco UCS Manager does not suppress SNMP MIB-2 faults
generated by NX-OS network operating system designed to support high
performance, high reliability server access switches used in the data center.
These SNMP MIB-2 faults have no association with this fault suppression policy.
|
-
default-iom-maint—Suppresses faults for IOMs in a
chassis or FEX.
This
policy applies only to chassis, FEXes, and IOMs.
Note |
FEX and IO
Modules are not supported by
Cisco UCS M-Series Servers.
|
Important:
Cisco UCS Manager Release 3.1(2) and later releases do not support Cisco UCS
M-Series Servers.
Suppression
Tasks
You can use these
tasks to connect the schedule or fixed time interval and the suppression policy
to a component.
Note |
After you create a
suppression task, you can edit the fixed time interval or schedule of the task
in both the
Cisco UCS Manager GUI
and
Cisco UCS Manager CLI.
However, you can only change between using a fixed time interval and using a
schedule in the
Cisco UCS Manager CLI.

the
Cisco UCS components, such as a fabric interconnect or an I/O module, can cause
the system to create a core dump file.
Cisco UCS Manager uses the Core File Exporter to immediately export the core
dump files to a specified location on the network through TFTP. This
functionality allows you to export the tar file with the contents of the core
dump file. The Core File Exporter provides system monitoring and automatic
export of core dump files that need to be included in TAC cases.
