Locating the Server Module Serial Number
When a server module powers on in a Sun Blade 6000 modular system, the server module queries the CMM to verify that sufficient is power available from the chassis power supply units (PSUs) to power on the server module.
If the chassis cannot supply enough power to power on the server module:
The CMM prevents the server module from receiving main power.
The OK/Power LED on the front panel of the server module remains at standby blink.
To troubleshoot this power issue, follow these guidelines:
Review the Oracle ILOM event log messages to determine whether the server module has permission to power on. An event message is recorded in the log any time there is inadequate amount of power available from the chassis PSUs to power on a server module.
For more information about the Oracle ILOM event log or monitoring power consumption, refer to the Oracle Integrated Lights Out Manager (ILOM) 3.1 documentation library. http://www.oracle.com/goto/ILOM/docs
Ensure that the chassis has the proper number of power supplies installed to support powering on all the chassis components that are currently installed.
Refer to the system chassis documentation for information about the number of power supplies required to power on chassis components, see www.oracle.com/goto/SB6000/docs.
To avoid power loss, use the default CMM power management settings in Oracle ILOM for power supplies.
For more information about power management, refer to the Oracle ILOM 3.1 documentation.
As needed, refer to http://www.oracle.com/goto/x86AdminDiag/docs for instructions on how to run start up diagnostic tools provided with the server module.
