Check for PSH-Detected Faults

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.

  1. Check the event log:
    # fmadm faulty
    TIME            EVENT-ID                              MSG-ID         SEVERITY

    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).

  2. Use the message ID to obtain more information about this type of fault:
    1. Obtain the MSGID from console output or from the Oracle ILOM show faulty command.
    2. Enter the MSGID at the end of the PSH Knowledge Article web site, http://www.sun.com/msg.

      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
