8. Determine if the
fault was detected
by PSH.
If the fault displayed included a uuid and
sunw-msg-id property, the fault was detected by the
Predictive Self-Healing software.
If the fault is a PSH-detected fault, refer to the PSH
Knowledge Article web site for additional
information. The Knowledge Article for the fault is
located at the following link:
(http://www.sun.com/msg/)message-ID
where message-ID is the value of the sunw-msg-id
property displayed by the show faulty command.
After the FRU is replaced, perform the procedure to
clear PSH-detected faults.

PSH” on page 54
9. Determine if the
fault was detected
by POST.
POST performs basic tests of the server components
and reports faulty FRUs. When POST detects a
faulty FRU, it logs the fault and if possible, takes the
FRU offline. POST detected FRUs display the
following text in the fault message:
Forced fail reason
In a POST fault message, reason is the name of the
power-on routine that detected the failure.

10. Contact technical
support.
The majority of hardware faults are detected by the
server’s diagnostics. In rare cases a problem might
require additional troubleshooting. If you are unable
to determine the cause of the problem, contact your
service representative for support.
