Monitoring Component Health and Faults Using Oracle ILOM

The Oracle ILOM 4.0 interfaces provide easy-to-view information about the health status of system components. From the Oracle ILOM web interface or in the Oracle ILOM command-line interface (CLI), you can collect system-specific information about the server, determine the health state of discrete components, and view any open problems on the server. Oracle ILOM automatically detects system hardware faults and environmental conditions on the server. If a problem occurs on the server, Oracle ILOM will automatically do the following:

• Illuminate the Service Required status indicator (LED) on the server front and back panels. See Troubleshooting Using Status Indicators and System Indicators Network Access Control (NAC) Names.

• Identify the faulted component in the Open Problems table. Open problems detected on a host server or system chassis are viewable from either the Open Problems web page or the /System/Open_problems CLI target. Refer to View Open Problems Detected on a Managed Device in the Oracle ILOM User's Guide for System Monitoring and Diagnostics Firmware Release 4.0.x at Systems Management and Diagnostics Documentation.

• Record system information about the faulted component or condition in the Oracle ILOM event log. Refer to Managing ILOM Log Entries in the Oracle ILOM User's Guide for System Monitoring and Diagnostics Firmware Release 4.0.x at Systems Management and Diagnostics Documentation.

For further information about administering open problems that are detected and reported by Oracle ILOM, refer to Administering Open Problems in the Oracle ILOM Administrator's Guide for Configuration and Maintenance Firmware Release 4.0.x at Systems Management and Diagnostics Documentation.
