System Fault Indicator
This task is used to display or reset the system fault indicator on systems that support
this function. This task is also used to set the system fault indicator for testing
purposes, but the system fault indicator is set back to Normal when you exit this task.
The system fault indicator is used to identify a fault with the system. This indicator is set
automatically by hardware firmware, or diagnostics when a fault is detected in the
system.
The system fault indicator is turned off when a Log Repair Action is performed. After a
serviceable event is complete, do a System Verification to verify the fix. At this time,
also do a Log Repair Action if the test on the resource was good and that resource had
an entry in the error log.
If the serviceable event was not the result of an error log entry, use the Log Repair
Action task to turn off the system fault indicator.
For additional information concerning the use of this indicator, refer to the system unit
service guide .
Note: The AIX command does not allow you to set the system fault indicator to the
Fault state.
Use the following example to run this task directly from the AIX command line:
/usr/lpp/diagnostics/bin/usysfault [-s normal]
Flag Description
-s Sets the system fault indicator to the Normal state.
When this command is used without the -s flag, the current state of the indicator
displays.
