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. |
- At the command prompt, type:
ipmitool -U user -P password -H hostname -v sdr list
Where user is the Oracle ILOM user name with root privileges, password it the password for the user, and hostname is the host name or IP address of the Oracle ILOM SP.
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.
- 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.
