Clear Faults (clear_fault_action Property)

Use the clear_fault_action property of a FRU with the set command to manually clear ILOM-detected faults from the service processor.

If Oracle ILOM detects the FRU replacement, it will automatically clear the fault so that manual clearing of the fault is not necessary. For PSH diagnosed faults, if the replacement of the FRU is detected by the system or the fault is manually cleared on the host, the fault will also be cleared from the service processor. In such cases, manual fault clearing will typically not be required.

• At the -> prompt, use the set command with the clear_fault_action=True property.

  This example begins with an excerpt from the fmadm faulty command showing power supply 0 with a voltage failure. After the fault condition is corrected (a new power supply has been installed), the fault state is cleared manually.

  Note - In this example, the characters “SPT” at the beginning of the message ID indicate that the fault was detected by Oracle ILOM.
