Disk LEDs, Error Messages | Sun Microsystems 220R manual

Disk LEDs

Disk LEDs

The disk LEDs are visible from the front of the system when the left door is open, as shown in the following figure.

Internal disk drive LEDs

When a disk LED lights steadily and is green, it indicates that the slot is populated and that the drive is receiving power. When an LED is green and blinking, it indicates that there is activity on the disk.

Error Messages

Error messages and other system messages are saved in the file /var/adm/messages.

The two firmware-based diagnostic tools, POST and OBDiag, provide error messages either locally on the system console or terminal, or in a remote console window through a tip connection. These error messages can help to further refine your problem diagnosis. See “OBDiag Configuration Variable Settings” on page 128 for additional details.
