Monitoring Component Health and Faults Using Oracle ILOM

Oracle ILOM interfaces provide easy-to-view information about the health status of system components. From the Oracle ILOM command-line interface (CLI) or web interface, you can collect system-specific information about the server, determine the health state of discrete components, and view any open problems on the server. Oracle ILOM automatically detects system hardware faults and environmental conditions on the server. If a problem occurs on the server, Oracle ILOM automatically does the following:

  • Identify the faulted component in the Open Problems table. Open problems detected on a host server or system chassis are viewable from either the /System/Open_problems CLI target or Open Problems web page. To view server open problems, type show /System/Open_Problems. Refer to View Open Problems Detected on a Managed Device in the Oracle ILOM User's Guide for System Monitoring and Diagnostics.

  • Record system information about the faulted component or condition in the Oracle ILOM event log. See Exadata Server X10M Events. Refer to Managing ILOM Log Entries in the Oracle ILOM User's Guide for System Monitoring and Diagnostics.

    • For the event log, type: show /SP/Logs/event/list

    • For the system log, type: show /System/Log/list

    • For the audit log, type: show /SP/Logs/audit/list

      To scroll through a list, press any key except the q key.

  • Illuminate the Fault-Service Required LED status indicator on the server front and back panels. See Server Status Indicator LEDs.

    See Server Components for status and fault messages.

To collect system-level information or to verify the system health status from the CLI, type show /System. To access subsystem and component health details from the CLI, type show /System/subsystem-name.
