Measures reported by LVXCVoltStatTest

Lenovo XClarity controller is embedded in most Lenovo ThinkSystem servers. The XClarity controller consolidates the service processor functionality, super I/O, video controller, and remote presence capabilities into a single chip on server system board. For optimal operation of processor, it is important that power supply to its channels is proper and voltage stays in operating range. If the voltage is too low, the controller may not operate properly while if it is too high the controller electronics will be damaged. It is absolutely important for administrators to monitor the voltage in each channel of the controller and take corrective actions if required.

This test auto-discovers the channels and reports the current voltage of the channel and health status of voltage sensor in each channel. Using these metric administrators can easily identify if there any actions need to be taken to ensure proper functioning of controller.

Outputs of the test: One set of results for each channel in the XClarity Controller.

Descriptor: Channel

The measures made by this test are as follows:

Measurement Description Measurement Unit Interpretation
reading Indicates the current voltage reading of the channel in controller. String

If the temperature is not in target operating range, it could be because of high load on the server which needs to be investigated and handled.
health Indicates the current status of temperature sensor in the current channel.  

If the health status of the sensor is abnormal, it means we lose the ability to monitor the voltage and lose the ability to take corrective action if voltage is too high. You should immediately replace the sensor if it is malfunctioning.

The values reported by this measure and its numeric equivalents are mentioned in the table below:

Measure Value Numeric Value
Abnormal 0
Normal 1

Note:

By default, this measure reports the Measure Values listed in the table above to indicate the current status of this fan. The graph of this measure, however, represents the status of the fan using the numeric equivalents only.
