XMS_LOCAL_DISK_POLLING_STATUS_CRITICAL
Alert Text The internal M.2 boot module has faulted.

Error Code (0x00305803)
(0x0030ba02)
(0x0030ba03)
Resolution Cause
  1. (0x00305803) is generated when the M.2 device SMART status indicates that there is an issue with the device.
  2. (0x0030ba03) is raised when the root file system on the Module 0 M.2 boot module becomes read-only. This condition also causes the node to fail, raising the alert (0x00305803) because the system cannot operate with the device in this state.
  3. (0x0030ba02) is raised due to a system monitoring error in polling the state of the device. This condition may also raise (0x00305803).
