■
Example showing a fault that was detected by POST. These kinds of faults are
identified by the message
Forced fail
reason
where

is the name of the
power-on routine that detected the failure.
■
Example showing a fault in the External I/O Expansion Unit. These faults can
be identified by the text string
Ext FRU
or
Ext sensor
at the beginning of the
fault description.
The text string
Ext FRU
indicates that the specified FRU is faulty and should
be replaced. The text string
Ext sensor
indicates that the specified FRU
contains the sensor that detected the problem. In this case, the specified FRU
may not be faulty. Contact service support to isolate the problem.
Detecting Faults Using Solaris OS Files and
Commands
With the Solaris OS running on the server, you have the full complement of Solaris
OS files and commands available for collecting information and for troubleshooting.
If POST, ILOM, or the Solaris PSH features do not indicate the source of a fault, check
the message buffer and log files for notifications for faults. Hard drive faults are
usually captured by the Solaris message files.
Use the
dmesg
command to view the most recent system message. To view the
system messages log file, view the contents of the
/var/adm/messages
file.
