Fault Indicators

Note: Prior to Diagnostics version 5.1.0.35, this task was also known as the System Fault Indicator task.
This task is used to display or reset the Fault Indicators on the systems that support this function. This
task may also be used to set the Fault Indicators for testing purposes, but the Indicators are not set back
to normal when you exit this task.
The Fault Indicators are used to identify a fault with the system. These indicators may be set automatically
by hardware, firmware, or diagnostics when a fault is detected in the system.
The Fault Indicators are turned off when a Log Repair Action is performed. After a serviceable event is
complete, do a System Verification to verify the fix. Also do a Log Repair Action if the test on the resource
was good, and that resource had an entry in the error log. If the serviceable event was not a result of an
error log entry, use the Log Repair Action Task to turn off the system fault indicator.
For additional information concerning the use of these indicators, refer to the system guide.
Note: The AIX command does not allow you to set the fault indicators to the Fault state.
Use the following command syntax:
