5 Servicing FRUs

Perform tasks for servicing field-replaceable units (FRUs) for the Oracle Database Appliance that require you to power off the system and/or server node.

When servicing FRU components, the server node and/or system must be powered down and the AC power cords disconnected.

Note:

Only authorized Oracle Service personnel can service FRU components.

Servicing Oracle Database Appliance X9-2 Series FRUs

Provides instructions on how to perform FRU service tasks on an Oracle Database Appliance X9 series system.

This section describes how to service field-replaceable components that require server power off for an Oracle Database Appliance X9-2 series system.

Only authorized Oracle Service personnel can service FRU components.

Note:

Most of the links in the following table take you to instructions outside of the Oracle Database Appliance library to the Oracle Server X9-2L documentation library. Use your browser's Back button to return to the Oracle Database Appliance library.

Component Fault Management

Perform component fault management on Oracle Database Appliance systems.

Typically, when a faulty component is replaced and the server is returned to service, the fault state of the component in Oracle ILOM is automatically cleared and the component Service Required indicator will turn off. This is the default behavior for all components that have an embedded FRU serial number in the component firmware.

For replaced components that do not have an embedded FRU serial number, or do not automatically clear their fault state after the component has been repaired and the server is returned to service, you can use Oracle ILOM command line interface to manually clear the fault state. Use the following syntax:

set /path_to_target clear_fault_action=true

Where path_to_target is the path to the component (such as a DIMM) that had the fault.

In addition, the Fault Management shell can also be used. Use of the Fault Management shell is reserved for Oracle Service. For more information on component fault management:
