Clear a Fault

When PSH detects faults, the faults are logged and displayed on the console. In most cases, after the fault is repaired, the corrected state is detected by the server module, and the fault condition is repaired automatically. However, this repair should be verified. In cases where the fault condition is not automatically cleared, you must clear the fault manually.

1. After replacing a faulty FRU, power on the server module.
2. Determine whether the replaced FRU still shows a faulty state.

   See Check for Faults.

   • If no fault is reported, you do not need to do anything else. Do not perform the subsequent steps.
   • If a fault is reported, continue to Step 5.
3. Clear the fault from all persistent fault records.

   In some cases, even though the fault is cleared, some persistent fault information remains and results in erroneous fault messages at boot time. To ensure that these messages are not displayed, type this PSH command:

   # fmadm acquit event-ID
   

4. If required, reset the server module.

   In some cases, the output of the fmadm faulty command might include this message for the faulty component:

   faulted and taken out of service

   If this message appears in the output, you must reset the server module after you manually repair the fault.

   faultmgmtsp> exit
   -> reset /System
   Are you sure you want to reset /System? y
   Resetting /System ...
