Identify Faulted Components

Language:

You can use LEDs and software to identify faulty components, however, it is best to rely on software to determine if a component is faulty.

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

Identify fault LEDs.
See Front Panel Components and Rear Panel Components.

From the Oracle ILOM prompt, start the fault management shell and type fmadm faulty.

This example shows how to check for faults through the Oracle ILOM fault management shell. You can also check for faults by typing show faulty at the Oracle ILOM prompt.

-> start /SP/faultmgmt/shell
Are you sure you want to start /SP/faultmgmt/shell (y/n)? y
