Verify a DIMM

1. Access Oracle ILOM.

   See Log In To Oracle ILOM (Service).

2. Set the virtual keyswitch to diag so that POST will run in Service mode.

   -> set /HOST keyswitch_state=Diag
   Set ???keyswitch_state' to ???Diag'
   

3. Reset the host so that POST runs.

   -> reset /System
   Are you sure you want to reset /System (y/n)? y
   

4. Return the virtual keyswitch to Normal mode.

   -> set /HOST keyswitch_state=Normal
   Set ???ketswitch_state' to ???Normal'
   

5. Start the Oracle ILOM fault management shell.

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

6. Check the event log.

   This example shows a faulty DIMM.
