Is this a failed power supply?

[paul.3.robertson]

Folks,

I think PSU2 has failed:

atl01-ucsf01a-A /server # show psu detail

PSU:

    PSU: 1

    Overall Status: Operable

    Operability: Operable

    Threshold Status: OK

    Power State: On

    Presence: Equipped

    Thermal Status: OK

    Voltage Status: OK

    Product Name: 650W power supply, with added 5A Standby for UCS C200 or C210

    PID: R2X0-PSU2-650W-SB

    VID: V00

    Vendor: Cisco Systems Inc

    Serial (SN): QCI15411SCZ

    HW Revision: 0

    PSU: 2

    Overall Status: N/A

    Operability: N/A

    Threshold Status: N/A

    Power State: PwrSave

    Presence: Equipped

    Thermal Status: OK

    Voltage Status: N/A

    Product Name: 650W power supply, with added 5A Standby for UCS C200 or C210

    PID: R2X0-PSU2-650W-SB

    VID: V00

    Vendor: Cisco Systems Inc

    Serial (SN): QCI15391R9C

    HW Revision: 0

However, UCS isn't showing a fault:

atl01-ucsf01a-A /server # show fault

atl01-ucsf01a-A /server #

Any assistance is appreciated.

Cheers,

Paul

Hello Paul,

Looks like UCSM managed rack server ( C210  M2 ) . The second PSU of the rack server is in power save mode and it is NOT faulty hardware state.

What is the power policy configured in UCSM ?

UCSM version ?

Hello,

It is indeed a UCSM managed C210 M2:

atl01-ucsf01a-A /server # show inventory

Server 11:

    Name: ATL-L09-U24

    Acknowledged Serial (SN): QCI1543AD3U

    Acknowledged Product Name: Cisco UCS C210 M2

    Acknowledged PID: R210-2121605W

    Acknowledged VID: 0

    Acknowledged Memory (MB): 98304

    Acknowledged Effective Memory (MB): 98304

    Acknowledged Cores: 8

    Acknowledged Adapters: 1

Here's the rest of the information you were looking for:

atl01-ucsf01a-A# show version

System version: 2.0(3c)

atl01-ucsf01a-A# scope org

atl01-ucsf01a-A /org # show psu-policy

PSU Policy:

    Redundancy Description

    ---------- -----------

    Grid

I think this is the power policy information you were looking for?

Hello Paul,

Do you have any other server with above behavior ?

I need to read whether Grid power policy configuration will push the second PSU into standy mode or not.

Padma,

This is the only server with the above behavior. I've power cycled the server, and also reacknowledged it, but the PSU remains in the same state.

Cheers,

Paul

Hello Paul,

I would request you to open a TAC SR with UCSM and rack server techsupport to further investigate this issue.

Opened case with TAC, and replacing the power supply resolved the issue.

Thanks for sharing the solution.
