Fault Management

Most Sun server platforms include the fault management software feature in ILOM. This feature enables you to proactively monitor the health of your system hardware, as well as diagnose hardware failures as they occur. In addition to monitoring the system hardware, the fault management software monitors environmental conditions and reports when the system's environment is outside acceptable parameters. Various sensors on the system components are continuously monitored. When a problem is detected, the fault management software automatically:

You can view the status of faulted components from the ILOM web interface or ILOM CLI. For more information, see: View Sensor Readings Using the Web Interface or View Fault Status Using the CLI.

The type of system components and environmental conditions monitored by the fault management software are determined by the Sun server platform. For more details about which components are monitored by the fault management software, consult the user documentation provided with the Sun server platform.

Note

The ILOM fault management feature is currently available on all Sun server platforms, with the exception of the Sun Fire X4100 or X4200 series servers.
