Check for Faults

The fmadm faulty command displays the list of faults detected by PSH. You can run this command from either the host or through the Oracle ILOM fault management shell.

  1. Log in to Oracle ILOM.

    See Log In to Oracle ILOM (Service).

  2. Check for PSH-diagnosed faults.

    This example shows how to check for faults through the Oracle ILOM fault management shell.

    -> start /SP/faultmgmt/shell

    In this example, a fault is displayed that includes these details:

    • Date and time of the fault (2012-08-27/19:46:26).
    • UUID (4e16c8d-5cdb-c6ca-c949-e24d3637ef27), which is unique to each fault.
    • Message identifier (PCIEX-8000-8R), which can be used to obtain additional fault information from Knowledge Base articles.
  3. Consider your next step:
    • If you are checking for faults while adding a second processor module, and no faults were detected, return to Server Upgrade Process.
    • If a fault is detected, proceed to Step 4.
  4. Use the message ID to obtain more information about this type of fault.
    1. Obtain the message ID from console output.
    2. Go to https://support.oracle.com, and search on the message ID in the Knowledge tab.
  5. Follow the suggested actions to repair the fault.
  6. If necessary, clear the fault manually.
