The firmware on the service processor (known in ALOM CMT as the SC or system controller) sends event messages to several destinations:�
Messages are sent to all logged-in users, based on the configuration of the sc_clieventlevelvariable.
Messages are recorded in the event log. View logged messages using the ALOM compatibility shell showlogs command.
Messages recorded in the event log can be identified according to the severity of the event. If the severity of the event is major or critical, you can view the messages for those events using the ALOM compatibility shell showlogs –p r command. View all messages in the event log using the ALOM compatibility shell showlogs –p p command.
Messages are sent in email messages based on the configuration of the mgt_mailalert variable. Individual email addresses can be configured to receive messages of different severities.
If the event represents a fault, the event message appears in the output of the ALOM compatibility shell showfaults command.
Messages are sent to the managed system operating system for logging into the Solaris syslog facility based on the configuration of the sys_eventlevel variable. Not all versions of the Oracle Solaris OS support this capability.
Each event has a severity level and corresponding number:�
ALOM compatibility shell configuration parameters use these severity levels to determine which event messages are displayed.
The following table displays usage event messages from the service processor (system controller).
The following table displays environmental monitoring event messages from the service processor (system contoller).
The following table displays host monitoring event messages from the service processor (system controller).
Severity | Message | Description |
---|---|---|
Critical | SP detected fault at time time component disabled | ALOM compatibility shell sends this message when a component has been disabled, either automatically by POST discovering a fault or by a user typing the disablecomponent command. component is the disabled component, which will be an entry from the platform showcomponent command.�This fault event message appears in the output of the ALOM compatibility shell showfaults command. |
Minor | SP detected fault cleared at component reenabled | ALOM compatibility shell sends this message when a component is enabled. A component can be enabled by a user typing the enablecomponent command or by FRU replacement if the component itself is a FRU (such as a DIMM). component is the name of the component shown in the output of the platform showcomponent command. |
Major | Host detected fault, MSGID: SUNW-MSG-ID | ALOM compatibility shell sends this message when the Solaris PSH software diagnoses a fault. The SUNW-MSG-ID of the fault is an ASCII identifier that can be entered at http://www.sun.com/msg for more information about the nature of the fault and the steps to repair.�This fault event message appears in the output of the ALOM compatibility shell showfaults command. |
Major | Location has been replaced;faults cleared. | ALOM compatibility shell sends this message after the replacement of a FRU that contained a host-detected fault. Location is the location and name of the FRU that was replaced. This event can be received at SC boot or after FRUs have been swapped and the chassis cover is closed. |
Major | Existing faults detected in FRU_PROM at location. | ALOM compatibility shell sends this message to indicate that the SC has detected a new FRU with pre-existing faults logged into its FRU PROM. This event can occur when either a FRU or the SC card is moved from one system to another. The location is the name of the SEEPROM on the replaced FRU, such as MB/SEEPROM.�The most recent existing fault will be imported from the FRU PROM onto the showfaults list. The entry on the showfaults list is the fault imported, not this message. |
