## 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, and the fault is automatically cleared from the system.

1. After replacing a faulty FRU, at the Oracle ILOM prompt, use 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. Example:

       -> show faulty
       Target                | Property               | Value
       ----------------------+------------------------+-----------------------------
       /SP/faultmgmt/0       | fru                    | /SYS/PM0/CMP0/BOB1/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/PM0/CMP0/BOB1/CH0/D0
       faults/0              |                        | Forced fail(POST)

2. Take one of the following actions based on the `show faulty` 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 the next step in this procedure.
3. 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 1. Example:

       -> set /SYS/PM0/CMP0/BOB1/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.

4. Reset the server.

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

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

   Example:

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