Issue

The PSU2 unit reports "not-available" sensors when attempting to retrieve system sensors information from BMC and ONTAP prompts.

  • When reviewing the outputs for system sensors of the affected node it shows the PSU sensors as being "not-available":

  • Replacement PSU continues to display the same results
  • System Health commands show the cluster as healthy
  • Swapping PSU with a known-working unit from partner node indicates that the both PSU units are good, but the error remains in the PSU slot.
