Detecting And Managing Faults; Checking For Faults - Oracle SPARC T8-2 Service Manual

Detecting and Managing Faults

When a SPARC T8 server encounters a fault, the fault is 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.
These topics explain how to use various diagnostic tools to monitor server status and
troubleshoot faults in the server.
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.
