Monitoring the 4PSEs
For an overview of using the OSM Service Connection to monitor system components, refer to
“Using the OSM Service Connection” (page 59).
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
