manually clear certain types of faults without a FRU replacement or if ALOM was

unable to automatically detect the FRU replacement. ALOM does not automatically

detect hard drive replacement.

Persistent environmental faults can automatically recover.A temperature that is

exceeding a threshold may return to normal limits. An unplugged a power supply

can be plugged in and so on. Recovery of environmental faults is automatically

detected. Recovery events are reported using one of two forms:

fru at location is OK.

sensor at location is within normal range.

Environmentalfaults can be repaired through removal and replacement of the faulty

FRU. FRU removal is automatically detected by the environmental monitoring and

all faults associated with the removed FRU are cleared. The message for that case,

and the alert sent for all FRU removals is:

fru at location has been removed.

There is no ALOM command to manually repair anenvironmental fault.

ALOM does not handle hard drive faults. Use the Solaris message files to view hard

drive faults. See “Collecting Information From Solaris OS Files and Commands” on

page39.

Running ALOM Service-Related Commands

This section describes the ALOM commands that are commonly used for service-

related activities.

Connecting to ALOM

Before you can run ALOM commands, you must connect to the ALOM. There are

several ways to connect to the system controller:

■Connect an ASCII terminal directly to the serial management port.

■Use the telnet command to connect to ALOM through an Ethernet connection

on the network management port.

■Connect an external modem to the network management port and dial-in to the

modem.

Note – Refer to the Sun Fire T1000 Server Advanced Lights Out Manager (ALOM)

Guide for instructions on configuring and connecting to ALOM.
