NetApp FAS 2240 Storage showing PCM FAULT Amber LED
ISSUE:
1.  PCM Fault LED is showing Amber
 Symptom:
Amber LED is glowing on NetApp 2240 storage chassis as well as PCM Fault LED is glowing on the rear
side of respective controller.
Step By Step Resolution
1. At the Data ONTAP CLI prompt, issue the “halt –s” command. Please note that this will cause an HA
takeover in an HA configuration.
 2. Wait for the controller to shut down .
 3. On the console port (not RSH, SSH, etc.), issue a “^G”(ctrl G)to switch the console to the SP.
 4. Log in to the SP.
 5. At the SP prompt, issue the “system power on” command.
 6. Issue a “^D”(ctrl D)to get back to the Data ONTAP console.
 7. Once the BIOS / Loader have booted, issue the “boot_ontap” command.
 8. Issue Giveback after Takeover.

Note: For HA configurations, the partner will also need to go through the 7-step process above.

I hope this information will be very helpful for whosoever visit my blog, and you will save lot of time , which i wasted on calling net app technical center.
