Monitoring the 4PSEs
For a general, top-down approach for using OSM to monitor system components, refer to Using
OSM to Monitor the System on page 3-7.
For 4PSEs, the OSM Service Connection reports, in the form of attributes, the
• Service State (displayed only if the value is something other than OK) – When a negative
Service State value is displayed, check for alarms and see alarm details for the probable
cause and suggested repair actions.
• Power State
• Device State
OSM actions allow you to power on or off a 4PSE, turn the LED on or off, and the Replace action
launches a documented service procedure to guide you through replacement.
Recovery Operations for I/O Adapters and Modules
• Examine the contents of the event message log for the subsystem. For example, the ServerNet
LAN Systems Access (SLSA) subsystem or Storage subsystem might have issued an event
message that provides information about the resource failure. Event messages returned by
the SLSA and Storage subsystems are described in the SLSA and STO sections of the Operator
Messages Manual, respectively.
• HP provides a comprehensive library of troubleshooting guides for the communications
subsystems. Attempt to analyze the problems and restart the process or object using the
commands described in the appropriate manual listed in “Related Reading” (page 101). If
you are unable to start a required process or object, contact your service provider.

For more information about monitoring and performing recovery operations for the I/O adapters
and the SLSA and Storage subsystems, see the manuals in the following table. The appropriate
manual to use depends on how your system is configured.
