Cause

Cause is mentioned in Resolution section under respective alerts.

Resolution

Alert ID XMS_IOM_FRU_COMP_STATUS_INCOMPATIBLE
Alert Text Component part number %(part_number) does not match with the expected part number %(expected_part_number) for this slot.
Error Code (0x0030a204)
Resolution Cause
This may occur after the IoModule/EmbeddedModule/4PortCard has been replaced, if the new FRU is not the same (or compatible) with the original.

Solution
The IoModule/EmbeddedModule/4PortCard should be replaced. Contact Technical Support for further assistance.
 
 
Alert ID XMS_IOM_FRU_COMP_STATUS_UNIDENTIFIABLE
Alert Text Component serial number is not readable by the software.
Error Code (0x0030a205)
Resolution Cause
This may occur if the IoModule/EmbeddedModule/4PortCard resume information is not readable by the software.

Solution
The IoModule/EmbeddedModule/4PortCard should be replaced. Contact Technical Support for further assistance.
 
 
Alert ID XMS_IOM_FRU_COMP_STATUS_UNSUPPORTED
Alert Text Component with part number %(part_number) is not supported.
Error Code (0x0030a202)
Resolution Cause
This may occur if the IoModule/EmbeddedModule/4PortCard is not supported for the current software version running on the system.

Solution
The IoModule/EmbeddedModule/4PortCard should be replaced. Contact Technical Support for further assistance.
 
 
Alert ID XMS_IOM_FRU_COMP_STATUS_UNEXPECTED
Alert Text An unexpected component was found.
Error Code (0x0030a206)
Resolution Cause
This may occur if the IoModule/EmbeddedModule/4PortCard is found in a previously otherwise empty slot for that node.

Solution
The extraneous IoModule/EmbeddedModule/4PortCard should be removed from that node. Please contact Technical Support for further assistance.
 
 
Alert ID XMS_IOM_FRU_COMP_STATUS_MISMATCHED
Alert Text Components inserted in each node of the appliance do not match.
Error Code (0x0030a203)
Resolution Cause
This may occur if the IoModule/EmbeddedModule/4PortCard present in the particular slot on the current node does not match with the IoModule/EmbeddedModule/4PortCard present in the same slot on the peer node.
The same issue when detected by the service script svc_diag list --icw_hardware will have the error "ICW Health Check error --"I/O Module Consistency Check: Failed"".
The same issue is seen on 'svc_diag list --icw_hardware' output, on the service container, as "I/O Module Consistency Check = Failed"

Solution
It is important that the IoModule/EmbeddedModule/4PortCard be identical on both nodes. Please contact Technical Support for corrective action.
 
 
Alert ID XMS_IOM_FRU_STATE_DISCONNECTED
Alert Text Node's IOM %(iom_index) is disconnected from the cluster.
Error Code (0x00309204)
Resolution Cause
This may occur if the IoModule/EmbeddedModule/4PortCard is physically removed or improperly seated in the system.

Solution
A re-seat of the relevant IoModule/EmbeddedModule/4PortCard while the node is powered off is required. The re-seat operation is the "replacement" of a component with itself. The replace procedures are found in the "Installation and Service Guide".  

If the issue persists, replace the IoModule/EmbeddedModule/4PortCard with a new one, based on the guide referenced above.
Please contact Technical Support for further assistance.
 
 
 
Alert ID XMS_IOM_FRU_POWER_STATUS_FAILED
Alert Text Component failed to power up.
Error Code (0x0030aa04)
Resolution Cause
This may occur if the IoModule/EmbeddedModule/4PortCard has a fault and has failed to power up.

Solution
Replace the IoModule/EmbeddedModule/4PortCard unit. Contact Technical Support for further assistance.
 
 
Alert ID XMS_IOM_FRU_POWER_STATUS_OFF
Alert Text Component is currently powered off.
Error Code (0x0030aa03)
Resolution Cause
This may occur if the IoModule/EmbeddedModule/4PortCard is currently powered off. For the case of IoModule, it can also occur if the IoModule was re-seated while the system was still live. Or if it was inserted into the live system, and was awaiting a node reboot to get powered on.

The same issue is seen on 'svc_diag list --icw_hardware' output , on the service container under Node A|B FRU Status as:
Off | <Embedded Module|Embedded Module|Embedded Module>|Embedded Module1> |  0x8b81
and/or as
"IO Module Consistency Check = Failed"
Solution
Reboot the node to see if the IoModule/EmbeddedModule/4PortCard powers on. See Powering Down and Reboot Procedures Guide for instructions on performing the reboot. If the power on is not successful, then replace it. Contact Technical Support for further assistance.
 
 
Alert ID XMS_IOM_FRU_STATE_FAILED
Alert Text Node's IOM has failed.
Error Code (0x00309203)
Resolution Cause
This may occur if the IoModule/EmbeddedModule/4PortCard has failed and has been marked as faulted by the system.

The same issue is seen on 'svc_diag list --icw_hardware' output on the service container in the section Node A|B Fault Status Register as one or more of the following:
FLT | Embedded Module
FLT | I/O Module 0
FLT | I/O Module 1
FLT | 4-Port Card

which may even be accompanied by 
FLT | Node
Solution
If it is the IoModule that has failed, then replace the IoModule. Contact Technical Support for further assistance. If multiple FRUs are indicted, then see SLN320676.

If it is the 4PortCard that has failed, then replace the 4PortCard. Contact Technical Support for further assistance. If multiple FRUs are indicted, then see SLN320676.

If it is the EmbeddedModule that has failed or multiple FRUs are indicted, then see SLN320676.
 
 
Alert ID XMS_INITIATOR_CHAP_CLUSTER_AUTHENTICATION_TRUE
Alert Text Mutual CHAP is enabled, but not configured for some initiators.
Error Code (0x00301C01)
Resolution Cause
Initiator is not available until credentials are assigned.

Solution
Configure authentication credentials for the initiators. Otherwise, a failure will occur when an initiator is disconnected and then re-connected.
 
 
Alert ID XMS_INITIATOR_CHAP_AUTHENTICATION_TRUE
Alert Text CHAP is enabled, but not configured for some initiators.
Error Code (0x00301D02)
Resolution Cause
Initiator is not available until credentials are assigned.

Solution
Configure authentication credentials for the initiators. Otherwise, a failure will occur when an initiator is disconnected and then re-connected.
