VMA-series Memory Array Installation and Service Guide

HP-AM456-9002A Rev 01

To clear the alarm, replace the non-functioning VIMM. Contact HP Customer 
Support for replacement parts. 

Once a VIMM is replaced, the VIMM configuration should once again be valid. 

Unformatted System Alarm 

The Unformatted System alarm indicates that all the VIMMs in the system are 
unformatted. This alarm applies only to flash-based systems. The system is 
unusable until the system (VIMMs) are formatted.

Port Service-Affecting Alarms

There are two service affecting port alarms.

•

No PCIe Host Detected on Enabled Port Alarm

 on page 192

•

Port Negotiated to 0 Lanes Alarm

 on page 192

No PCIe Host Detected on Enabled Port Alarm

The No PCIe Host Detected on Enabled Port alarm indicates that the PCIe cable 
has not been connected to the specified enabled port. The PCIe port is specified 
as 

1

 or 

2

. 

To clear the alarm, connect a PCIe cable between the enabled port and an active 
PCIe card on a host computer. 

Port Negotiated to 0 Lanes Alarm

The Port Negotiated to 0 Lanes alarm indicates that the PCIe connection failed 
to negotiate any communications lanes between the PCIe card in the host and 
the Memory Array. The Alarm LED flashes.

To clear the alarm, change the PCIe cable, card, or host computer to compatible 
components. 

Power Service-Affecting Alarms

There are two service affecting power alarms.
