Issue

  • An AFF A400, AFF C400, ASA A400, ASA C400, FAS8300 or FAS8700 node reboots unexpectedly due to stopped / missed heartbeat
  • The following events are an example of this issue:
  [Node-01: spmgrd: sp.heartbeat.stopped:error]: Have not received a IPMI heartbeat from the Service Processor (SP) in last 600 seconds.
  [Node-01: spmgrd: callhome.sp.hbt.missed:notice]: Call home for SP HBT MISSED
  [Node-01: spmgrd: callhome.sp.hbt.stopped:alert]: Call home for SP HBT STOPPED
  [Node-01: env_mgr: sp.ipmi.lost.shutdown:EMERGENCY]: SP heartbeat stopped and cannot be recovered. To prevent hardware damage and data loss, the system will shut down in 10 minutes.
  [Node-01: env_mgr: monitor.shutdown.emergency:EMERGENCY]: Emergency shutdown: Environmental Reason Shutdown (System reboot to recover the BMC)


  • IPMI_KCS_ERR messages are observed at the timestamp of the reboot in sktrace.log:
