Clear Fault Using the CLI

This procedure describes how to clear a fault using the Command Line Interface (CLI).

Caution

Clearing a fault condition from the CLI does not correct an underlying hardware failure.

What to Do

  1. Open an ILOM CLI window.

  2. Use the cd command to move to the component that has failed.

  3. Use the show command to confirm the component's fault_state.

    The following example checks the status of rear fan module 0 (/CH/RFM0) and shows that its fault_state = Faulted.

    -> cd /CH/RFM0
    /CH/RFM0
    
    
    -> show
    
    
    /CH/RFM0
    Targets:
    	SERVICE
    	ACT
    	FAN1_OK
    	FAN2_OK
    	FAN1_SPEED
    	FAN2_SPEED
    
    
    Properties:
    	type = Rear Fan FRU
    	fault_state = Faulted 
    	clear_fault_action = (none)
    	prepare_to_remove_status = NotReady
    	prepare_to_remove_action = (none)
    	return_to_service_action = (none)
    
    
    ->
  4. Issue the set clear_fault_action=true command for the faulted component.

    The following command clears the fault state for rear fan module 0 (/CH/RFM0):

    set /CH/RFM0 clear_fault_action=true

You can use the show command again to confirm that the fault_state has changed to OK. However, if the fault condition persists, the component will return to its faulted state almost immediately.
