The clearfault command enables the system administrator to repair a host-reported fault manually so that it is not displayed by the showfaults command.
1. In this example, the showfaults command identifies a host-detected fault.
sc> showfaults ID FRU Fault 0 MB/CMP0/CH0/R0/D0 Host detected fault, MSGID: SUN4U-8000-2S
2. Including the -v (verbose) option to the showfaults command.
sc> showfaults -v ID Time FRU Fault 0 SEP 09 11:09:26 MB/CMP0/CH0/R0/D0 Host detected fault, MSGID: SUN4U-8000-2S UUID: 7ee0e46b-ea64-6565-e684-e996963f7b86
3. Issuing the clearfault command without an argument causes ALOM to display command usage information.
sc> clearfault Error: Invalid command option Usage: clearfault <UUID>
4. The clearfault command takes one argument, the universal unique identifier (UUID), a numerical string. In this example, the UUID is supplied as an argument to the clearfault command.
sc> clearfault 7ee0e46b-ea64-6565-e684-e996963f7b86 Clearing fault from all indicted FRUs... Fault cleared.
5. As a result of the successful use of the clearfault command, the showfault command no longer displays the host-detected fault:
sc> showfaults No failures found in System
