There have been times when I’ve seen the alert ‘General Failure’ for power supply 1 on the HP insight agents. 

General failure on power supply in the HP Proliant range of servers tends to mean that an aspect of that particular power supply isn’t happy. It doesn’t mean you need to replace the power supply, try the following:

  • Reseat the power cable – unplug it and plug it back in
  • Remove the power supply – count to five and plug it back in

These should fix the alert.
