The Affects
and Status
lines (lines 20 and 21) identify the component affected by the fault and its relative state. In this example, a single CPU is affected. It is marked "faulted but still in service".
Line 24 shows the data for the impacted FRU (Field Replaceable Unit). The location string (also called the FRU label) is "/SYS/MB/P0." it should match the label on the physical hardware or the value displayed by Oracle ILOM.
Line 35 shows the state as faulty
.
The Action section might include other specific actions and/or references to additional information.
Example 2-2 Showing Faults with the fmdump
Command
Some console messages and knowledge articles might instruct you to use the
older fmdump -v -u uuid
command to display fault information. Although the fmadm
list
command is preferred, the fmdump
command still operates, as shown in the following example:
1 # fmdump -v -u eed2208e-2dcf-40c9-9bab-ab3a13e94182 2 TIME UUID SUNW-MSG-ID 3 Dec 19 13:25:38.0697 eed2208e-2dcf-40c9-9bab-ab3a13e94182 SPX86A-8002-30 4 100% fault.cpu.intel.mc_ce 5 6 Problem in: hc://:chassis-serial=489089M+13280X0042:chassis-name=SUN SERVER X4-4: chassis-part=7066596:chassis-mfg=Oracle Corporation/chassis=0/motherboard=0/chip=0 7 Affects: hc://:chassis-serial=489089M+13280X0042:chassis-name=SUN SERVER X4-4: chassis-part=7066596:chassis-mfg=Oracle Corporation/chassis=0/motherboard=0/chip=0 8 FRU: hc://:chassis-serial=489089M+13280X0042:chassis-name=SUN SERVER X4-4: chassis-part=7066596:chassis-mfg=Oracle Corporation:fru-serial=:fru-part=CM80636: fru-revision=/chassis=0/motherboard=0/chip=0 9 Location: /SYS/MB/P0
The time the fault was generated, its Unique Universal Identifier (UUID) and message ID are displayed on line 3.
The fault and percent certainty of the diagnosis are displayed on line 4.
If available, the FRU is presented in a Fault Management Resource
Identifier (FMRI) format (lines 6 through 8), which includes descriptive properties
about the system containing the fault, such as its chassis name (SUN SERVER
X4-4
) and chassis serial number. On platforms and components that support
it, the part number and serial number of the FRU are also included in the FRU's FMRI.
Otherwise, the FRU label is shown.
The FRU location (line 9) presents the human-readable FRU label. For
example, the label /SYS/MB/P0
represents the CPU labeled "P0" on
the motherboard.
Note that the severity, descriptive text, and action are not shown with the
fmdump
command, unless you use the -m
option. See the fmdump
man
page for more information.
