Goal

The SPARC T5-4 and SPARC T5-8 ILOM reports critical System Fan events on the ILOM system logs or Solaris system messages log

Example ( Solaris System Messages )

Mar 13 13:23:12 NODE1 SC Alert: [ID 472888 daemon.error] Chassis | major: Hot removal of /SYS/RCSA/FBD0/FM4

Mar 13 13:23:12 NODE1 SC Alert: [ID 382037 daemon.notice] SDM | minor: Fan Module Removed from location FBD0/FM4 (Fan Board 0 Fan Module 4).

Mar 13 13:23:12 NODE1 SC Alert: [ID 296258 daemon.alert] Fault | critical: Fault detected at time = Thu Mar 13 13:23:12 2014. The suspect component: /SYS has fault.component.missing with probability=100. Refer to http://support.oracle.com/msg/SPT-8000-J4 for details.

The ILOM message uses the naming convention of /SYS/RCSA/FBDx/FMx in reporting Fan related events.

On the rear of the SPARC T5-4 and T5-8 system a vertical label is present in the FAN slots with the format FBDx/FMx . The vertical label is not explicitly mentioned in the system documentation for T5-4 and T5-8 systems.

Example
