How to Inject a Simulated Fault

---

Caution  ‐ This procedure returns test SNMP traps, however the values received might not match the values you expect to see when a real SNMP trap is generated. This does not impact non-test SNMP trap functionality.

---

1. At the command prompt, type:

   ipmitool -U user -P password -H hostname -v sdr list

   Choose a sensor from the returned list that you want to inject a simulated fault to. In this example the IPMI event: 'P0/VTT' unc assert is used.

2. At the command prompt, type:

   # ipmitool -U user -P password -H hostname event 'P0/VTT' unc assert

   This injects the IPMI event: 'P0/VTT' unc assert.

   You should receive an SNMP trap similar to the following:

   sysUpTime.0 = Timeticks: (4300) 0:00:43.00

   snmpModules.1.1.4.1.1 = OID: sunHwTrapVoltageNonCritThresholdExceeded

   sunHwTrapSystemIdentifier.0 = STRING: sg-prg-x6220-01-sp0

   sunHwTrapChassisId.0 = STRING: 1005LCB-0728YM01R7::0739AL71EA

   sunHwTrapProductName.0 = STRING: SUN BLADE 6000 MODULAR SYSTEM::SUN BLADE X6220 SERVER MODULE

   sunHwTrapComponentName.0 = STRING: /SYS/MB/P0/VTT

   sunHwTrapThresholdType.0 = INTEGER: upper(1)

   sunHwTrapThresholdValue.0 = STRING:

   sunHwTrapSensorValue.0 = STRING:

   sunHwTrapAdditionalInfo.0 = STRING: Upper Non-critical going high

   sunHwTrapAssocObjectId.0 = OID: zeroDotZero

   sunHwTrapSeverity.0 = INTEGER: nonCritical(4)

   You can verify the SNMP trap by checking the syslog record, which should contain something similar to the following:

   sg-prg-x6250-01 hwagentd[3470]: P0/VTT (Sensor ID: 0x1b) (Record ID: 0x821): Upper Non-critical going high.

   The messages stored in syslog or the Windows application log correspond exactly to the SNMP traps. On Linux and Oracle Solaris operating systems, the messages are logged with facility daemon and level notice.

   Note ‐ If records corresponding to SNMP traps are not being stored on Linux and Oracle Solaris operating systems, make sure that the daemon facility and notice level are enabled.
