## Clear POST-Detected Faults

Use this procedure if you suspect that a fault was not automatically cleared. This procedure describes how to identify a POST-detected fault and, if necessary, manually clear the fault.

In most cases, when POST detects a faulty component, POST logs the fault and automatically takes the failed component out of operation by placing the component in the ASR blacklist. See Managing Components (ASR)).

Usually, when a faulty component is replaced, the replacement is detected when the SP is reset or power cycled. The fault is automatically cleared from the system.

1. Replace the faulty FRU.
2. At the Oracle ILOM prompt, type the `show faulty` command to identify POST-detected faults.

   POST-detected faults are distinguished from other kinds of faults by the text: `Forced` `fail.` No UUID number is reported. For example:

       -> show faulty
       Target                | Property               | Value
       ----------------------+------------------------+-----------------------------
       /SP/faultmgmt/0       | fru                    | /SYS/MB/CMP0/B0B0/CH0/D0
       /SP/faultmgmt/0       | timestamp              | Dec 21 16:40:56
       /SP/faultmgmt/0/      | timestamp              | Dec 21 16:40:56
       faults/0              |                        |
       /SP/faultmgmt/0/      | sp_detected_fault      | /SYS/MB/CMP0/B0B0/CH0/D0
       faults/0              |                        | Forced fail(POST)

3. Take one of the following actions based on the output:
   - No fault is reported – The system cleared the fault and you do not need to manually clear the fault. Do not perform the subsequent steps.
   - Fault reported – Go to Step 4.
4. Use the `component_state` property of the component to clear the fault and remove the component from the ASR blacklist.

   Use the FRU name that was reported in the fault in Step 2.

       -> set /SYS/MB/CMP0/B0B0/CH0/D0 component_state=Enabled

   The fault is cleared and should not show up when you run the `show` `faulty` command. Additionally, the System Fault (Service Required) LED is no longer lit.

5. Reset the server.

   You must reboot the server for the `component_state` property to take effect.

6. At the Oracle ILOM prompt, type the `show faulty` command to verify that no faults are reported.

       -> show faulty
       Target              | Property               | Value
       --------------------+------------------------+------------------
