Understanding Hardware Status

To understand hardware status, use the following sections.

Locating the Chassis Serial Number

To obtain support for your storage controller or to order new parts, you need your chassis serial number. There are three ways to locate the chassis serial number.

  1. You can find a chassis serial number label on the storage controller front panel on the left side. Another label is on the top of the storage controller.
  2. You can click the Sun/Oracle logo in the BUI masthead to obtain the serial number.
  3. You can use the following CLI command:
    hostname: maintenance hardware show

Locating a Failed Component (BUI)

Use the following procedure to locate a failed component using the BUI.

  1. From the Maintenance menu, select Hardware.
  2. Click the right-arrow icon apply icon on the storage system or disk shelf which has the fault icon.
  3. Locate the fault icon fault icon in the lists of hardware components and click it. The image should be updated to show where that component is physically located.
  4. Click the locator icon locator icon for that component, if the component has it. The LED on the component will begin to flash.

Locating a Failed Component (CLI)

Use the following procedure to locate a failed component using the CLI.

  1. Go to maintenance hardware:
    hostname:> maintenance hardware
  2. List the appliance components:
    hostname:maintenance hardware> list
                 NAME        STATE       MODEL                     SERIAL
    chassis-000  hostname    ok          Oracle ZFS Storage ZS7-2  unknown
    chassis-001  000000000C  faulted     Oracle Storage DE3-24C    000000000C
  3. Select the chassis and list its components:
    hostname:maintenance hardware> select chassis-001
    hostname:maintenance chassis-001> list
                             disk
                              fan
                              psu
                             slot
  4. Select the component type and show all available components:
    hostname:maintenance chassis-001> select disk
    hostname:maintenance chassis-001 disk> show
    Disks:

    Note:

    The RPM (revolutions per minute) of the disk drive is also shown in the output. However, RPM is truncated in the previous example.
  5. Select the faulted component and turn on its locator LED, if the component has it:
    hostname:maintenance chassis-001 disk> select disk-001
    hostname:maintenance chassis-001 disk-001> set locate=true
                           locate = true (uncommitted)
    hostname:maintenance chassis-001 disk-001> commit
