How to Clear ILOM FMA Faults And Reset The SP on Exadata or Other Servers

Hi,

I will explain How to Clear ILOM FMA Faults And Reset The SP on Exadata or Other Servers in this post.

If you don’t know what is the Exadata, read the following articles.

When I log in to ILOM of Exadata, I have seen the following RAM fault.

Health Service Required 
Health Details Multiple correctable ECC errors on a memory DIMM have been detected. 

Multiple correctable ECC errors on a memory DIMM have been detected.

I have checked the physical RAM on Exadata and on Operating system, it is running properly.

So We can ignore this error and clear this fault.

Log in to ILOM of related Node as follows.

[root@msddbadm02 ~]# ssh 192.168.63.34

->

List the faults as follows.

-> show /SP/faultmgmt

/SP/faultmgmt
Targets:
shell
0 (/SYS/MB/P1/D11)

Properties:

Commands:
cd
show

Show the details of component as follows.

-> show /SYS/MB/P1/D11

/SYS/MB/P1/D11
Targets:
PRSNT
SERVICE

Properties:
type = DIMM
ipmi_name = MB/P1/D11

fru_serial_number = 00CE021607319E123B
fault_state = Faulted
clear_fault_action = (none)

Commands:
cd
set
show

Now Clear this fault of component_path as follows.

-> set /SYS/MB/P1/D11 clear_fault_action=true
Are you sure you want to clear /SYS/MB/P1/D11 (y/n)? y
Set 'clear_fault_action' to 'true'

->

Check it again if it is corrected or not.

-> show /SYS/MB/P1/D11

Targets:
PRSNT
SERVICE

Properties:
type = DIMM
ipmi_name = MB/P1/D11

fault_state = OK
clear_fault_action = (none)

Commands:
cd
set
show

->

After clearing the actual fault, reset the SP as follows.

->  reset /SP

You can show the faulted components as follows.

-> show faulty
 

You can show the faulted components as follows.

faultmgmtsp> fmadm faulty

You can start the Fault management as follows.

-> start /SP/faultmgmt/shell

You can enable the component properties to enabled for disabled components as follows.

-> set /SYS/<component_path> component_state=enabled

You can repair the faulted component as follows.

faultmgmtsp> fmadm repair
