1 Installing the Oracle Linux Fault Management Architecture Software
The Oracle Linux Fault Management Architecture (FMA) software can be used to manage server faults from the host OS in much the same way you manage faults in the Oracle Integrated Lights Out Manager (ILOM). In addition, CPU or memory faults detected by the Oracle Linux OS mcelog daemon are diagnosed, converted to a standard fault format, and stored in a fault management database on the host that is synced with the fault management database in Oracle ILOM. This provides detailed fault information an administrator or service personnel can act on from the host OS utilizing a set of fault management commands similar to those found in Oracle ILOM.
