Possible Causes Of System Degradation And Action To Be Taken

The table below describe the causes of system degradation and the action to be performed in these cases.

Table 1. Possible Causes Of System Degradation And Action To Be Taken
CauseWhat This MeansAction to be Performed
Insufficient Power Capacity The system is connected to one or more power supply sources that have low voltage.
  • Check the line level voltage.
  • Add an additional power supply (if possible) on a separate AC power source that meets the minimum system specification.
User Configuration The power consumption of the system is high and the Power Reduction setting is enabled resulting in degraded performance. Set the appropriate threshold value for the current configuration. For information on the current configurations, see the Hardware Owner's Manual of the system.
NOTE: The power consumption of the system may vary with the state of the processor, peripherals (memory, storage devices, additional cards, and so on) and their usage.
Unknown Reason The performance of the system has degraded due to an unknown reason. Check the system after some time. The system may recover.
Not supportedThe performance sensor is not available in the server configuration.None.
Others The performance of the system has degraded due to indefinable reason. Check the system after some time. The system may recover.
