Clear a Fault Manually

Language:

When the server detects faults, the faults are logged and displayed on the console. In most cases, after the fault is repaired the fault condition is repaired automatically. In cases where the fault condition is not automatically cleared, you must clear the fault manually.

After replacing a faulty component, power on the server and, verify that the fault for that component has cleared.
Use the fmadm faulty command to confirm that the fault is clear.
Determine your next step.
- If no fault was detected, you do not need to do anything else. Do not perform the subsequent steps.
- If a fault was detected, continue to the next step.
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:
```
faultmgmtsp> fmadm acquit 
    UUID/NAC-name
  
```
Fault UUID numbers are displayed in fmadm faulty output.
If required, reset the server.
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 after you manually repair the fault.
```
faultmgmtsp> exit
-> reset /System
Are you sure you want to reset /System? y
Resetting /System ...
```
Clear the fault in the Oracle Enterprise Manager Ops Center software, if applicable.
Clearing a fault with the fmadm aquit command does not clear that fault in the Oracle Enterprise Manager Ops Center software. You must manually clear the fault or incident. For more information, refer to the section on marking an incident repaired in the Oracle Enterprise Manager Ops Center Feature Reference Guide at:

If you are servicing a component, return to the procedure for that component.
