Note:

The S8500 has a set of alarms for the RSA card, which is also called the Remote 
Maintenance Board (RMB). The MO name is RMB. Alarms reported, by the 
S8500 media server, via the MO name RMB will include a Product ID beginning 
with one (1) followed by nine digits. 
The A+SAMP board in a S8500B media server may also report alarms via the 
MO name RMB. See 

on page 120. When the A+SAMP board reports 

alarms via the MO name RMB the Product ID begins with a five (5) followed by 
nine digits.

MIN

"RMB driver missing - handshake Failed" - The driver for communicating 

with the RSA card cannot be found. Several failures can generate this fault:

●

the Linux bash command /sbin/lsmod is missing

●

the results from running /sbin/lsmod could not be read

●

/sbin/lsmod returned nothing

●

the RSA device driver was not loaded

●

the RSA device driver does not exist

The recommendations are:

1. Be sure /sbin/ibmod exists and is executable.
2. Be sure /tmp exists as a directory and can be written.
3. Be sure /lib/modules/ibmasm/ibmasm.o exists and has read 

permission.

4. Run the bash command "service ibmasm start".

MIN

"RMB cli is not loaded on the server." - The program that talks to the RSA 

card could not be found. Several failures generate this fault:

●

the Linux bash command /bin/ls is missing or not working properly

●

the bash command /opt/ecs/rmb/rsa/rsacli is missing or is not 
executable

The recommendations are:

1. Be sure all the above files and directories exist and have read and 

execute permissions.

2. Reload any missing files from the distribution.
