Oracle ILOM Fault Manager
|
The Oracle ILOM Fault Manager is part of the Oracle ILOM firmware
embedded on the server service processor (SP). The fault manager
automatically detects system hardware faults and environmental
conditions on the server. If a problem occurs on the server, Oracle
ILOM identifies the problem in the Open Problems table and logs
information about the fault in the Event log.

Oracle Linux Fault Management Architecture (FMA)
|
Oracle Linux FMA software can be optionally installed on the
server through Oracle Hardware Management Pack. Oracle Linux FMA can
be used to manage faults detected at the operating system (OS) level
in much the same way that you manage faults in Oracle ILOM. Fault
diagnosis messages from Linux FMA are maintained on a fault
management database, which is shared with Oracle ILOM.

Oracle Solaris Fault Management Architecture (FMA)
|
Oracle Solaris FMA is included with the Oracle Solaris operating
system (OS). The fault manager receives data related to hardware and
software errors, automatically diagnoses the underlying problem, and
responds by trying to take faulty components offline.

Auto Service Request (ASR)
|
ASR is an optional support service for Oracle hardware. ASR
collects hardware telemetry data from telemetry sources (such as
Oracle ILOM) on ASR-enabled systems in your data center. ASR filters
this telemetry data and forwards what it determines to be potential
faults directly to Oracle, and then automatically initiates a
service request. You can configure features of the ASR service from
Oracle ILOM.

BIOS POST
|
At system startup, the system BIOS performs a power-on self-test
(POST) that checks the hardware on your server to ensure that all
components are present and functioning properly. It displays the
results of this test on the system console.
To launch the power-on self-test and view the test output, reset
the power on the server.
|
Refer to the BIOS POST section in the Oracle x86 Servers Diagnostics, Applications, and Utilities
Guide for Servers with Oracle ILOM 3.1 and Oracle ILOM

Oracle VTS
|
Oracle VTS is a comprehensive diagnostic tool that verifies the
connectivity and functionality of most hardware controllers and
devices. Oracle VTS is the preferred test for diagnosing I/O and
host bus adapter (HBA) problems.
Launch Oracle VTS on a system running the Oracle Solaris operating
system. Alternatively, you can download the Oracle VTS ISO image to
your Oracle server or to a CD/DVD and then use Oracle ILOM
redirection to boot the image.

UEFI Diagnostics
|
UEFI Diagnostics is a suite of diagnostics tests that enable you
to detect problems on motherboard components, drives, ports, and
slots.
Launch these tests from the Oracle Integrated Lights Out Manager
(ILOM) web interface or command-line interface (CLI):
Web:
-
Navigate to the Host Management > Diagnostics page.
-
In the Mode drop-down list, select the level of
diagnostics you want to run (Enabled, Disabled, Extended, or
Manual).
-
Click Start Diagnostics.
CLI:
-
Use the following command to specify the diagnostics
mode:
set /HOST/diag
mode=[enabled|disabled|extended|
manual]
-
Use the following command to start the diagnostics:
start /HOST/diag
