Power On the Server (Oracle ILOM)
Use the clear_fault_action property of a FRU with the set command to manually clear Oracle ILOM-detected faults from the service processor.
If Oracle ILOM detects a 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 Oracle ILOM. In such cases, manual fault clearing will typically not be required.
Note - For PSH-detected faults, this procedure clears the fault from the service processor but not from the host. If the fault persists in the host, clear it manually as described in Clear PSH-Detected Faults.
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.
