Service Troubleshooting Task List
POST – POST performs diagnostics on system components upon system power up and
■
resets to ensure the integrity of those components. POST messages are displayed and
logged in the BIOS event logs. POST works with ILOM to take faulty components offline
if needed. For information about configuring BIOS, POST testing, POST codes, POST code
checkpoints, and console redirection, see

The LEDs, ILOM, Solaris OS PSH, and many of the log files and console messages are
integrated. For example, a fault detected by the Solaris software will display the fault, log it,
pass information to ILOM where it is logged, and depending on the fault, might light one or
more LEDs.

Oracle Solaris OS Predictive Self-Healing – The PSH technology continuously
monitors the health of the CPU and memory, and works with ILOM to take a faulty
component offline if needed. The predictive self-healing technology enables systems to
accurately predict component failures and mitigate many serious problems before they
occur.
Log files and console messages – These items provide the standard Solaris OS log files
and investigative commands that can be accessed and displayed on the device of your
choice.
SunVTS software – An application that exercises the system, provides hardware
validation, and discloses possible faulty components with recommendations for repair.
