Troubleshooting Troubleshooting Tools Troubleshooting Tools LEDs Front Panel The front panel of the system contains the Power Button/System Power LED, Internal and External Health LEDs, System Health LED, Locator Switch/LED, and an INIT button. rx6600 servers use flashing states (for example, flashing amber or red) on these LEDs to indicate a warning or an error.
Troubleshooting Troubleshooting Tools Amber supersedes green. This LED is cleared when all failed externally accessible entities are repaired and report that they are good, or on any ac/standby power cycle. Table 5-5 describes the VFP External Health LEDs. Table 5-5 VFP External Health Description <none>...
This LED is used: • To carry forward the ATTENTION functionality of legacy Integrity and HP 9000 front panel designs • To give an indication of whether the system is up or down. External and internal health LEDs do not indicate if the system is booted.
Troubleshooting Troubleshooting Tools Diagnostics Panel LEDs The Diagnostics Panel improves serviceability by allowing you to look in a single location for the LEDs that provide failing FRU locating/mapping information. These amber LEDs are only lit when a failure occurs; otherwise, they are off. A label on the panel is oriented in a fashion analogous to the orientation of the components within the server: a diagnostic LED exists for each FRU in the system, including all DIMMs.
On HP-UX systems, the legacy tools within OnlineDiag will continue to be supported. The online support tools, on the HP-UX 11.23 and greater operating systems, include the Support Tool Manager (STM) tools, and the additional Web-Based Enterprise Management (WBEM) features added by SysFaultMgmt.
Online Support Tools List The following online support tools are available on HP-UX 11.23 hosted systems. In some cases, a tool, such as a disk exerciser, is generic to many types of hardware; in other cases, a tool, such as a tape diagnostic. is specific to a particular technology or type of tape drive.
To ensure that tools are available to repair or recover from the fault. HP-UX Fault Management Proactive fault prediction and notification is provided on HP-UX by SysFaultMgmt WBEM indication providers, as well as by the Event Management System (EMS). The Event Management Service and WBEM provide frameworks for monitoring and reporting events.
