Opened: Sep 11, 2014

Severity: 4-Minor

Symptoms

When power is removed from the PSU but the PSU remains in the system, 'tmsh show sys hardware' reports the PSU as 'not-present'.

Impact

Only the message is incorrect. Although the PSU is present, the system cannot read its data without power, so the system marks the PSU 'not present'. Once power is restored, all information is available.

Conditions

This occurs when an installed DC powered PSU loses power, and the user runs the command 'tmsh show sys hardware'.

Workaround

Plug the power cable into the PSU. The system can now detect the power supply status and read the PSU info.

Fix Information

None
