We had an F740 chassis power supply fail this morning (the second power supply was right there to keep things going of course, yay). The e-mail it sent out had a couple of oddities in it, but nothing really major:
---------- Forwarded message ---------- Date: Wed, 11 Aug 1999 12:39:59 -0400 From: xxxxxxxxx@netcom.ca To: xxxxxxxxx@netcom.ca Subject: System Notification from pb ( Power Supply #1 Failed
POWER_SUPPLY_DEG)
GENERATED_ON=Wed Aug 11 12:39:59 EDT 1999 VERSION=NetApp Release 5.1.2: Sat Sep 26 05:05:59 PDT 1998

Is the subject line supposed to read "System Notification from pb ( Power Supply #1 Failed POWER_SUPPLY_DEG)" all on one line? It looks like that line was unintentionally split in two, so the "POWER_SUPPLY_DEG)" part appears in the message body.

I swapped the failed power supply, but the filer syslogs a "Power Supply #1 Failed" message even when I insert/power up the replacement. According to the most recent syslog messages, the filer is still in degraded power mode. Can it log repair events as well as failure events, and is there a way (sysconfig?) to check the current power supply status? I had to go look at the filer LED's to make sure everything was indeed okay.
Just to nitpick :) ... why does "System Notification mail sent" show up twice? Once for the e-mail and once for the short pager notification? Or is it because I have two addresses in autosupport.noteto?
