Warning Messages

A warning message alerts you to a possible problem and prompts you to respond before the system continues a task. For example, before you format a

diskette, a message will warn you that you may lose all data on the diskette. Warning messages usually interrupt the task and require you to respond by

typing y (yes) or n (no).

NOTE:

Warning messages are generated by either the application or the operating system. For more information, see

the documentation that accompanied the operating system or application.

Diagnostic Messages

When you run system diagnostics, an error message may result. Diagnostic error messages are not covered in this section. Record the message on a copy of

the Diagnostics Checklist in "Getting Help," and then follow the instructions in that section for obtaining technical assistance.

Alert Messages

Systems management software generates alert messages for your system. Alert messages include information, status, warning, and failure messages for

drive, temperature, fan, and power conditions. For more information, see the systems management software documentation.

Baseboard Management Controller Messages

The Baseboard Management Controller (BMC) enables you to configure, monitor, and recover systems remotely. BMC uses the system's serial port and

integrated NIC1 to support fault logging and SNMP alerting.

NOTE:

If the integrated network controller is used in an Ether Channel team or link aggregation team, the BMC management traffic will not function

properly. For more information about network teaming, see the documentation for the network controller.

For additional information on using BMC, see the documentation for the BMC and systems management applications.
