Clear FRU Faults Manually

Use the clear_fault_action property of a FRU to manually clear faults recorded in a FRU PROM. There are
two conditions where this step may be needed:

To clear a fault diagnosed by the predictive self-healing feature without replacing the faulty FRU.

To clear a fault that the service processor was unable to clear following a FRU replacement.

Note - This procedure clears the fault from the service processor but not from the host. If the fault persists in the host,
it must be manually cleared.

At the > prompt, enter the clear_fault_action property.

>set/SYS/MB/CMP0/BR0/CH0/D0clear_fault_action=True

Clear PSH-Detected Faults

When the Solaris PSH facility detects faults, the faults are logged and displayed on the console. In most cases, after
the fault is repaired, the corrected state is detected by the system, and the fault condition is repaired automatically.
However, this repair should be verified. In cases where the fault condition is not automatically cleared, the fault must
be cleared manually.
1.

After replacing a faulty FRU, power on the server.

2.

At the ILOM prompt, use the showfaulty command to identify PSH detected faults.
PSH-detected faults are distinguished from other kinds of faults by the presence of a sunwmsg
id and uuid property.

>showfaulty

/SP/faultmgmt/0|fru|/SYS/MB/CMP0/BR0/CH1/D0
/SP/faultmgmt/0|timestamp|Dec1422:43:59

faults/0||7a8a

faults/0||
The next step depends on whether or not a fault was reported.
o

If showfaulty does not report a fault, stop. Do not go on to the next step.

If a fault is reported, perform Step 3 and Step 4.

3.

Use the clear_fault_action property of the FRU to clear the fault from the service processor.

6.

Clear the fault from all persistent fault records.

In some cases, even though the fault is cleared, some persistent fault information remains and results in
erroneous fault messages at boot time. To ensure that these messages are not displayed, run the Solaris
command fmadmrepair, specifying the UUID of the erroneous message.
