Fault Detection and Diagnostics Overview

The server supports multiple fault detection and diagnostics tools. Fault detection tools, such
as the Oracle ILOM Fault Manager, automatically poll the system to detect hardware faults and
adverse environmental conditions. Diagnostics tools, such as Oracle VTS must be run manually
and can assist you in troubleshooting server issues. The following table provides an overview of
the fault detection and diagnostics tools supported by the server.
Tool Description
Oracle ILOM Fault The fault manager automatically detects system hardware faults and
Manager environmental conditions on the server. If a problem occurs on the
server, Oracle ILOM identifies the problem in the Open Problems
table and logs information about the fault in the Event log.
The Oracle ILOM Fault Manager is part of the Oracle ILOM
firmware embedded on the server service processor (SP).
Oracle Linux Oracle Linux FMA can be used to manage faults detected at the
Fault Management operating system (OS) level in much the same way that you manage
Architecture (FMA) faults in Oracle ILOM. Fault diagnosis messages from Linux FMA
are maintained on a fault management database, which is shared
with Oracle ILOM.
Oracle Linux FMA software can be optionally installed on the
server through Oracle Hardware Management Pack.
Oracle Solaris The fault manager receives data related to hardware and software
Fault Management errors, automatically diagnoses the underlying problem, and
Architecture (FMA) responds by trying to take faulty components offline.
Oracle Solaris FMA is included with the Oracle Solaris operating
system (OS).
Auto Service Request ASR is an optional support service for Oracle hardware. ASR
(ASR) collects hardware telemetry data from telemetry sources (such as
Oracle ILOM) on ASR-enabled systems in your data center. ASR
filters this telemetry data and forwards what it determines to be
potential faults directly to Oracle, and then automatically initiates a
service request. You can configure features of the ASR service from
Oracle ILOM.
