3. Power cycle the server module to run POST.
There are several ways to initiate a reset. The following example uses the ILOM
reset command.
4. Read the POST output to determine if you need to perform service actions. See
Section 2.6.3, “Interpreting POST Messages” on page 2-38.
2.6.3 Interpreting POST Messages
When POST is finished running and no faults were detected, the system will boot.
If POST detects a faulty device, the fault is displayed and the fault information is
passed to ILOM or ALOM CMT for fault handling. Faulty FRUs are identified in
fault messages using the FRU name. For a list of FRU names, see Appendix A.
1. Interpret the POST messages:
POST error messages use the following syntax:
c:s > ERROR: TEST = failing-test
c:s > H/W under test = FRU
c:s > Repair Instructions: Replace items in order listed by H/W
under test above
c:s > MSG = test-error-message
c:s > END_ERROR
In this syntax, c = the core number, s = the strand number.
Warning and informational messages use the following syntax:
INFO or WARNING: message
The following example shows a POST error message report for a missing PCI device:
-> reset /SYS
Are you sure you want to reset /SYS (y/n)? y
Performing hard reset on /SYS
->
0:0:0>ERROR: TEST = PIU PCI id test
0:0:0>H/W under test = MB/PCI-SWITCH
0:0:0>Repair Instructions: Replace items in order listed by ‘H/W under test’
above.
0:0:0>MSG = PCI ID test device missing Cont.
DEVICE NAME: MB/PCI-SWITCH
0:0:0>END_ERROR
