#### Fault Management Command Examples

When no faults have been detected, the show fault output looks like this:

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

    -----------------------------------------------------------------

Other examples are shown in the following sections.

##### Power Supply Fault Example (`show` `faulty` Command)

The following is an example of the `show` `faulty` command reporting a power supply fault.

Note - The characters “SPT” at the beginning of the message ID indicate that the fault was detected by Oracle ILOM.

    -> show faulty
    Target              | Property               | Value

##### Power Supply Fault Example (`fmadm` `faulty` Command)

The following is an example of the `fmadm` `faulty` command reporting on the same power supply fault as shown in the `show` `faulty` example. Note that the two examples show the same UUID value.

The `fmadm` `faulty` command was invoked from within the Oracle ILOM `faultmgmt` shell.

Note - The characters “SPT” at the beginning of the message ID indicate that the fault was detected by Oracle ILOM.

    -> start /SP/faultmgmt/shell
    Are you sure you want to start /SP/faultmgmt/shell (y/n)? y

                     (Serial Number: 1908BAO-1020A90156)

    Description : A Power Supply has failed and is not providing power to the
                     server.

    Response    : The service required LED on the chassis and on the affected
                  Power Supply may be illuminated.

    Impact      : Server will be powered down when there are insufficient
                  operational power supplies

    Action      : The administrator should review the ILOM event log for
                  additional information pertaining to this diagnosis.  Please
                  refer to the Details section of the Knowledge Article for
                  additional information.

##### POST-Detected Fault Example (`show` `faulty` Command)

The following is an example of the `show` `faulty` command displaying a fault that was detected by POST. These kinds of faults are identified by the message `Forced` `fail` reason, where reason is the name of the power-on routine that detected the fault.

    -> show faulty
    Target              | Property               | Value
    --------------------+------------------------+--------------------------------
    /SP/faultmgmt/0     | fru                    | /SYS/PM0/CMP0/B0B0/CH0/D0

    faults/0            |                        | Forced fail(POST)

##### PSH-Detected Fault Example (`show` `faulty` Command)

The following is an example of the `show` `faulty` command displaying a fault that was detected by the PSH technology. These kinds of faults are identified by the absence of the characters “SPT” at the beginning of the message ID.

    -> show faulty

##### Service-Related Oracle ILOM Commands

These are the Oracle ILOM shell commands most frequently used when performing service-related tasks.

Oracle ILOM Command | Description
--- | ---
`help` [command] | Displays a list of all available commands with syntax and descriptions. Specifying a command name as an option displays help for that command.
`set /HOST send_break_action=break` | Takes the host server from the OS to either `kmdb` or OpenBoot PROM (equivalent to a Stop-A), depending on the mode Oracle Solaris software was booted.
`set /SYS/`component `clear_fault_action=true` | Manually clears host-detected faults. The UUID is the unique fault ID of the fault to be cleared.
`start /HOST/console` | Connects you to the host system.
`show /HOST/console/history` | Displays the contents of the system's console buffer.
`set /HOST/bootmode` property=value [where property is `state`, `config`, or `script`] | Controls the host server OpenBoot PROM firmware method of booting.
`stop /SYS; start /SYS` | Performs a `poweroff` followed by `poweron`.
`stop /SYS` | Powers off the host server.
`start /SYS` | Powers on the host server.
`reset /SYS` | Generates a hardware reset on the host server.
`reset /SP` | Reboots the SP.
`set /SYS keyswitch_state=`value `normal | standby | diag | locked` | Sets the virtual keyswitch.
`set /SYS/LOCATE value=`value [`Fast_blink` | `Off`] | Turns the Locator LED on the server on or off.
`show faulty` | Displays current system faults. See Check for Faults (`show` `faulty` Command).
`show /SYS keyswitch_state` | Displays the status of the virtual keyswitch.
`show /SYS/LOCATE` | Displays the current state of the Locator LED as either on or off.
`show /SP/logs/event/list` | Displays the history of all events logged in the SP event buffers (in RAM or the persistent buffers).
`show /HOST` | Displays information about the operating state of the host system, the system serial number, and whether the hardware is providing service.
