Symptoms

While running BIG-IP v11.5.0 or later on a BIG-IP 2000-/4000-/5000-/7000-/10000-series appliances using DC power supplies, error messages containing the following strings may appear in /var/log/ltm: err chmand[####]: 012a0003:3: Sensor read fault for Power supply #1 fan-1 err chmand[[####]: 012a0003:3: Sensor read fault for Power supply #1 meas. inlet temp err chmand[####]: 012a0003:3: Sensor read fault for Power supply #2 fan-1 err chmand[####]: 012a0003:3: Sensor read fault for Power supply #2 meas. inlet temp

Impact

These errors result from a mismatch in the list of power supply sensors queried by BIG-IP, and the sensors actually present in a DC power supply. These errors do not indicate a problem with the power supply in question.

Conditions

- BIG-IP 2000-/4000-/5000-/7000-/10000-series appliances - DC power supplies (FND850 for 10000-series, FND300 for 2000-/4000-/5000-/7000-series) - Running BIG-IP v11.5.0 or later.

Workaround

These errors, when occurring under the conditions described, can be safely ignored.

Fix Information

Power supply sensor values are successfully read without errors on BIG-IP 2000-/4000-/5000-/7000-/10000-series appliances with DC power supplies.
