Clear the fault LED on an IBM x3650 M4 after accidental disk insertion and removal?

Question

The server had a disk added, and then the operator realized they put the disk in the wrong server, so they pulled it out again. No harm done, the server is running and the disk was never actually accessed from the OS, but the Fault LED went on, and the IMM (Integrated Management Console) shows this "Active Event":

The Drive 5 has been removed from unit disk or disk bay 5.

Since we don't need the drive (and indeed don't have it anymore), we want to clear this alert. I've tried clearing the event log, and it did remove the "disk inserted" and "disk removed" events, but neither the Fault LED nor the "Active Event".

How can I clear the Fault LED and tell the server to just accept that there is no disk in bay 5?

Solution

Well, the alert (and the LED) cleared after a reboot of the IMM and a reboot of the server. Which of these was the "solution" I don't know, we just happened to need to do both at about the same time.

Glad you resolved this. Please be sure to mark it accepted when you are able. There's even a badge for self answering.

The "accident" was the exact opposite of what you describe.
