RE: [NETAPP LOG #95883.00000]Shelf Temp. Alarms... - toasters

      Hello Eyal,
thanks for sharing this, the annoying reported messages should well be fixed,
once and for all, in Data OnTap 5.3.4 and up.
If you are running that, and still see this error the shelf in question should
be replaced.
See bugs online for bug 16767:
The SCSI-3 Environmental Services (SES) driver on occasion emits an erroneous
overtemperature failure containing an impossible temperature. An
overtemperature failure would normally be preceded by an overtemperature
warning; the warning is not issued. The error is typically quickly reported as
having been corrected.
A typical report:
 Eurologic EDM shelf 5 on host adapter 8 reports a critical condition
  Digital Temperature Sensor
         Element 1 reports critical status
                 overtemperature failure
                 temperature: 217 (C), 422 (F)
Sometime the temperature reported is very low rather than very high.
It is very apparent that this fault should be ignored. A temperature reported so
far above fault conditions cannot be reached in a ten second interval.
WORKAROUND:
There is no workaround. Examine the messages file to see if there are any
persistent temperature reports. Constant faults would indicate the temperature
sensor has reached a hard error state. In that case the shelf must be replaced.
FIX:
The problem is corrected in 5.3.4
