Symptoms

In rare instances, certain BIG-IP platforms may erroneously generate power supply error messages that indicate zero milli-voltage. Specific symptoms include: - SNMP alert 'BIG-IPSystemCheckAlertMilliVoltageLow' detected. - Front panel Alarm LED is blinking amber. - Errors such as the following are logged: emerg system_check[<#>]: 010d0017:0: Power supply #<x> meas. main outpu: milli-voltage (0) is too low. [where <x> is the power supply location (either 1 or 2)] - Errors such as the following may also be logged: -- err chmand[<#>]: 012a0003:3: Sensor read fault for Power supply #<x> meas. main outpu : File sensor/LopSensSvc.cpp Line 1453. -- notice chmand[<#>]: 012a0005:5: reinitialize tmstat sensors (num sensors:<#>). -- notice chmand[<#>]: 012a0005:5: reinitialize tmstat sensors (num sensors:<#>). Note that this condition may affect either PSU 1 or PSU 2.

Impact

There is no impact; these error messages are benign.
