Check for Faults

The fmadm faulty command displays the list of faults detected by PSH. You can run this command from either the host or through the fmadm shell.

1. Access the Oracle ILOM.

   See Log In to Oracle ILOM (Service).

2. Check for PSH-diagnosed faults.

   This example shows how to check for faults through the Oracle ILOM fault management shell.

   -> start /SP/faultmgmt/shell
   Are you sure you want to start /SP/faultmgmt/shell (y/n)? y

   Description : During poweron testing, a lane failover has occurred on an
                 interconnect between a CPU chip and a switch chip
    
   Response    : The hardware has automatically reconfigured the link to
                 isolate the failing lane.
    
   Impact      : The system's capacity to correct transmission errors between
                 CPU chips has been reduced.
    
   Action      : Use 'fmadm faulty' to provide a more detailed view of this
                 event. Please refer to the associated reference document at
                 http://support.oracle.com/msg/SPSUN4V-8001-6Q for the latest
                 service procedures and policies regarding this diagnosis.

   In this example, a fault is displayed that includes these details:

   • Date and time of the fault (2012-08-27/19:46:26).
   • UUID (4e16c8d-5cdb-c6ca-c949-e24d3637ef27), which is unique to each fault.
   • Message identifier (PCIEX-8000-8R), which can be used to obtain additional fault information from Knowledge Base articles.
3. Use the message ID to obtain more information about this type of fault:
   1. Obtain the message ID from console output.
   2. Go to the http://support.oracle.com, and search on the message ID.
4. Follow the suggested actions to repair the fault.
5. If necessary, clear the fault manually.
