Oracle ILOM Fault Manager
|
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.
The Oracle ILOM Fault Manager is part of the Oracle ILOM firmware
embedded on the server service processor (SP).

Oracle Linux Fault Management Architecture (FMA)
|
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 Linux FMA software can be optionally installed on the
server through Oracle Hardware Management Pack.

Oracle Solaris Fault Management Architecture (FMA)
|
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.
Oracle Solaris FMA is included with the Oracle Solaris operating
system (OS).

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.

Oracle ILOM Diag Shell
|
The Oracle ILOM Diag Shell allows you to run HWdiag commands to
check the status of a system and its components. You run Diag shell
from the Oracle ILOM command-line interface (CLI).

|
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.

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 ILOM web interface or
command-line interface (CLI).
