Identify Faults in the Oracle ILOM Event Log

1. Access Oracle ILOM.

   See Access the Oracle ILOM CLI (NET MGT Port).

2. Display the Oracle ILOM event log.

   -> show /SP/logs/event/list Class==class Type==type

   where you choose class and type from the table in Switch Administration, log entry filters.

   For example, to display log entries pertaining to all faults, type.

   -> show /SP/logs/event/list Class==Fault

   ---

   Note - If you want to display log entries pertaining to only component failure, use the show /SP/logs/event/list Class==Fault Type==Fault command.

3. Identify the faulty components in the output.

   The Oracle ILOM targets of the faulty components follow the word component. For example:

   -> show /SP/logs/event/list Class==Fault
   Event
   ID     Date/Time                 Class     Type      Severity
   -----  ------------------------  --------  --------  --------
   18820  Tue Sep 25 13:44:56 2012  Fault     Fault     critical
            Fault detected at time = Tue Sep 25 13:44:56 2012. The suspect component:
            /SYS/PSU0 has fault.chassis.device.psu.fail with probability=100. Refer 
            to http://support.oracle.com/msg/DCSIB-8000-23 for details.
   18569  Tue Sep 18 16:43:13 2012  Fault     Repair    minor 
            Component /SYS/PSU0 repaired
   18567  Tue Sep 18 15:51:48 2012  Fault     Fault     critical
            Fault detected at time = Tue Sep 18 15:51:48 2012. The suspect component:
            /SYS/PSU0 has fault.chassis.device.psu.fail with probability=100. Refer 
            to http://support.oracle.com/msg/DCSIB-8000-23 for details.

   In this example, Event ID 18567 on September 18, at 15:51, indicated that a critical fault occurred in the component with Oracle ILOM target /SYS/PSU0. This is power supply 0 as identified in Clearable Fault Targets. Following the Oracle ILOM target is the reason for the fault. A URL is provided for more information about the fault.

   Moving up the output, Event ID 18569 on September 18, at 16:43, indicated that a repair action was taken on the component with Oracle ILOM target /SYS/PSU0. The power supply was repaired. The term repaired can mean either repaired or replaced. In either case, the power supply in slot 0 was now functional.

   Continuing up the output, Event ID 18820 on September 25 indicated that a critical fault occurred again in the component with Oracle ILOM target /SYS/PSU0.

4. Depending on the severity of the fault, replace the component.
