How to View Fault Status With the Command-Line Interface

Before You Begin

To view fault status, you need the Read Only (o) role enabled.

  1. Log in to the ILOM CLI.
  2. There are two ways to view faults through the CLI:
    • Use the command: -> show /SP/faultmgmt

      You see output similar to the following:

      -> show /SP/faultmgmt
      
       /SP/faultmgmt
          Targets:
              shell
              0 (/SYS)
              1 (/SYS/BL1)
              2 (/SYS/BL2)
      
          Properties:
      
          Commands:
              cd
              show

      This output shows the devices that have faults.

    • Use the command: ->show faulty

      show faulty is a shortcut for the following ILOM CLI command string: -> show -o table -level all /SP/faultmgmt. The alias produces the same output as the previous command. Thus, it enables you to view all active faults in the system in a concise, tabular form. For example, it produces output similar to the following:

      -> show faulty
      Target              | Property               | Value
      --------------------+------------------------+---------------------------------
