## Check for PSH-Detected Faults

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

As an alternative, you can display fault information by running the Oracle ILOM command `show`.

1. Check the event log.

       # fmadm faulty
       TIME            EVENT-ID                              MSG-ID         SEVERITY
       Aug 13 11:48:33 f92e9fbe-735e-c218-cf87-9e1720a28004  SUN4V-8002-6E  Major

       Platform    : sun4v     Chassis_id  :
       Product_sn  :

       Fault class : fault.cpu.generic-sparc.strand
       Affects     : cpu:///cpuid=**/serial=*********************
                         faulted and taken out of service
       FRU         : "/SYS/MB"
       (hc://:product-id=*****:product-sn=**********:server-id=***-******-*****:
       chassis-id=********:**************-**********:serial=******:revision=05/
       chassis=0/motherboard=0)
                         faulty

       Description : The number of correctable errors associated with this strand has
                     exceeded acceptable levels.
                     Refer to http://sun.com/msg/SUN4V-8002-6E for more information.

       Response    : The fault manager will attempt to remove the affected strand
                     from service.

       Impact      : System performance may be affected.

       Action      : Schedule a repair procedure to replace the affected resource, the
                     identity of which can be determined using 'fmadm faulty'.

   In this example, a fault is displayed, indicating the following details:

   - Date and time of the fault (`Aug 13 11:48:33`).
   - EVENT-ID, which is unique for every fault (`21a8b59e-89ff-692a-c4bc-f4c5cccca8c8`).
   - MSG-ID, which can be used to obtain additional fault information (`SUN4V-8002-6E`).
   - Faulted FRU. The information provided in the example includes the part number of the FRU (`part=511127809`) and the serial number of the FRU (`serial=1005LCB-1019B100A2`). The FRU field provides the name of the FRU (/SYS/MB for motherboard in this example).
2. Use the MSG-ID to obtain more information about this type of fault:
   1. Obtain the MSG-ID from console output or from the Oracle ILOM `show` `faulty` command.
   2. Sign into the Oracle support site:

      http://support.oracle.com

   3. Type the MSG-ID in the Search Knowledge Base search window.

      The following example shows the knowledge article information provided for MSG-ID `SUN4V-8002-6E`.
