Faults in Cisco Integrated Management Controller
A fault represents a failure in the Cisco Integrated Management Controller (Cisco IMC) instance or an alarm threshold that has been raised. A fault can change from one severity level to another. A fault includes information about the operational state of the affected component at the time the fault was raised. If the fault is transitional and the failure is resolved, then the component transitions to a functional state.
Fault Severities
The following table lists the fault severities in Cisco IMC.
|
Severity |
Description |
|---|---|
|
Info |
A basic notification or informational message, possibly independently insignificant. |
|
Minor |
A non-service affecting fault condition that requires corrective action to prevent a more serious fault from occurring. For example, this severity could indicate that the detected alarm condition is not currently degrading the capacity of the component. |
|
Warning |
A potential or impending service-affecting fault that currently has no significant effects in the system. Action should be taken to further diagnose, if necessary, and correct the problem to prevent it from becoming a more serious service-affecting fault. |
|
Major |
A service-affecting condition that requires urgent corrective action. For example, this severity could indicate a severe degradation in the capability of the component and that its full capability must be restored. |
|
Critical |
A service-affecting condition that requires immediate corrective action. For example, this severity could indicate that the component is out of service and its capability must be restored. |
