Issue

  • Node shows health alerts on multiple FANs


::*> system health alert show
               Node: node-02
           Resource: 021907025432
           Severity: Critical
    Indication Time: Sat Dec 23 22:10:33 2023
           Suppress: false
        Acknowledge: false
     Probable Cause: Fan2 has multiple faults. The nodes in this chassis
                     are node-02, node-01.
    Possible Effect: The FRU Fan2 might stop functioning soon. The nodes in
                     the chassis might not function effectively or redundancy might be lost.
 Corrective Actions: 1. Check Fan2 for failures. If necessary replace Fan2 as soon as possible.
                     2. Refer to the Hardware specification guide for more information on the position of the field-replaceable unit (FRU) and ways to check or replace it.
                     3. Contact support personnel if the alert persists.
