## Check for PSH-Detected Faults

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

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

1. Check the event log using `fmadm` `faulty`:

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

       Fault class : fault.chassis.power.fail

       FRU         : /SYS/PS3
                        (Part Number: 300-2159-05)
                        (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.

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

   - Date and time of the fault (`2010-08-27/19:46:26`)
   - Universal Unique Identifier (UUID). The UUID is unique for every fault (`edc898a3-c875-6b86-851a-91a4ed8ad58e`)
   - Message identifier, which can be used to obtain additional fault information (`SPT-8000-MJ`)
   - Faulted FRU. The information provided in the example includes the part number of the FRU (`Part Number: 300-2159-05`) and the serial number of the FRU (`Serial Number: 1908BAO-1020A90156)`). The FRU field provides the name of the FRU (/SYS/PS3 for power supply 3 in this example).
2. Use the message ID to obtain more information about this type of fault:
   1. Obtain the message ID from console output or from the Oracle ILOM `show` `faulty` command.
   2. Enter the message ID at the end of the Predictive Self-Healing Knowledge Article web site, http://www.sun.com/msg. In the current example, enter this in the browser address window:

      http://www.sun.com/msg/SPT-8000-MJ

      The following example shows the message ID `SPT-8000-MJ` and provides information for corrective action.
