![How to fix Hardware Status Add-in Card 10 35-GPU warning][1]

## Issue

Today I found that several of my ESXi servers running on HP Blade bl460c G8 had warning in **Hardware Status** tab in vSphere client.

![Add-in Card 1- 35-GPU][2]

Followed by alert hostname.local Alert Host IPMI System Event Log status 10/22/2014[3]:12:51 AM.

I checked enclosure and Blade IML log and there was no problem at all. I was a bit puzzled and I tried to clear warning by resetting sensors, but it didn't help.

Fortunately for me, I found a way how to fix it.

## Solution

In order to fix issue there are several ways to fix / clear issue:

* Go to **Configuration**/ **Security Profile**/ **Services** / Properties and restart **CIM Server** Daemon. In my case, I received time out to do it so I simply did it again and it worked.

* Login using SSH to your ESXi server and execute the following command ```/etc/init.d/sfcbd-watchdog restart```

* Reboot server

After restarting service you just need to reset sensors in Hardware Status tab and all will return to normal state.
