How to Inject a Simulated Fault

---

Caution  - This procedure returns test SNMP traps, however the values received might not match the values you expect to see when a real SNMP trap is generated. This does not impact non-test SNMP trap functionality.

---

1. At the command prompt, type:

   ipmitool -U user -P password -H hostname -v sdr list

   Choose a sensor from the returned list that you want to inject a simulated fault to. In this example the IPMI event: 'P0/VTT' unc assert is used.

2. At the command prompt, type:

   # ipmitool -U user -P password -H hostname event 'P0/VTT' unc assert

   This injects the IPMI event: 'P0/VTT' unc assert.

   You should receive an SNMP trap similar to the following:

   sysUpTime.0 = Timeticks: (4300) 0:00:43.00

   snmpModules.1.1.4.1.1 = OID: sunHwTrapVoltageNonCritThresholdExceeded

   sunHwTrapSystemIdentifier.0 = STRING: sg-prg-x6220-01-sp0

   sunHwTrapChassisId.0 = STRING: 1005LCB-0728YM01R7::0739AL71EA

   sunHwTrapProductName.0 = STRING: SUN BLADE 6000 MODULAR SYSTEM::SUN BLADE X6220 SERVER MODULE

   sunHwTrapComponentName.0 = STRING: /SYS/MB/P0/VTT

   sunHwTrapThresholdType.0 = INTEGER: upper(1)

   sunHwTrapThresholdValue.0 = STRING:

   sunHwTrapSensorValue.0 = STRING:

   sunHwTrapAdditionalInfo.0 = STRING: Upper Non-critical going high

   sunHwTrapAssocObjectId.0 = OID: zeroDotZero

   sunHwTrapSeverity.0 = INTEGER: nonCritical(4)

   You can verify the SNMP trap by checking the syslog record, which should contain something similar to the following:

   sg-prg-x6250-01 hwagentd[3470]: P0/VTT (Sensor ID: 0x1b) (Record ID: 0x821): Upper Non-critical going high.

   The messages stored in syslog correspond exactly to the SNMP traps. The messages are logged with facility daemon and level notice.

   Note -  If records corresponding to SNMP traps are not being stored on Oracle Solaris operating systems, make sure that the daemon facility and notice level are enabled.
