Detecting And Managing Faults; Checking For Faults - Oracle Netra SPARC S7-2 Service Manual

Detecting and Managing Faults

When problems arise during day-to-day operations of the server, you can use these topics to
determine the fault and course of action.
Faults are recorded in a common fault database. The fault is then reported by the server in one
of several ways, depending on the type and severity of the fault.
Step Description
1. Check the server for detected faults and for
information about components that might require
service.
2. Perform additional troubleshooting if needed.
3. Manage faults following a service procedure.
4. Contact technical support if the problem persists.
