The fmadm faulty command displays the list of faults detected by PSH. You can run this command either from the host or through the Oracle ILOM fmadm shell.
As an alternative, you can display fault information by running the Oracle ILOM command show.
# fmadm faulty TIME EVENT-ID MSG-ID SEVERITY Aug 13 11:48:33 21a8b59e-89ff-692a-c4bc-f4c5cccca8c8 SUN4V-8002-6E Major Platform : sun4v Chassis_id : Product_sn : Fault class : fault.cpu.generic-sparc.strand Affects : cpu:///cpuid=21/serial=000000000000000000000 faulted and taken out of service FRU : "/SYS/PM0" (hc://:product-id=sun4v:product-sn=BDL1024FDA:server-id=s4v-t5160a-bur02:chassis-id=BDL1024FDA:serial=1005LCB-1019B100A2:part=511127809:revision=05/chassis=0/motherboard=0) faulty Description : The number of correctable errors associated with this strand has exceeded acceptable levels. Refer to http://sun.com/msg/SUN4V-8002-6E for more information. Response : The fault manager will attempt to remove the affected strand from service. Impact : System performance might be affected. Action : Schedule a repair procedure to replace the affected resource, the identity of which can be determined using 'fmadm faulty'.
In this example, a fault is displayed, indicating the following details:
Date and time of the fault (Aug 13 11:48:33)
UUID, which is unique for every fault (21a8b59e-89ff-692a-c4bc-f4c5cccca8c8)
MSGID, which can be used to obtain additional fault information (SUN4V-8002-6E)
Faulted FRU. The information provided in the example includes the part number of the FRU (part=511127809) and the serial number of the FRU (serial=1005LCB-1019B100A2). The FRU field provides the name of the FRU (/SYS/PM0 for processor module 1 in this example).
For the current example, type this URL:
http://www.sun.com/msg/SUN4V-8002-6E
The following example shows the message ID SUN4V-8002-6E and provides information for corrective action.
Correctable strand errors exceeded acceptable levels Type Fault Severity Major Description The number of correctable errors associated with this strand has exceeded acceptable levels. Automated Response The fault manager will attempt to remove the affected strand from service. Impact System performance might be affected. Suggested Action for System Administrator Schedule a repair procedure to replace the affected resource, the identity of which can be determined using fmadm faulty.
