Solution Type Technical Instruction Sure Solution 1012992.1 : How to check why the system is powered off, on Sun Fire[TM] X2100 M2/X2200 M2 Servers
PreviouslyPublishedAs 217790 Description Description Summary:
Purpose/Scope: This document describes what to check if systems appears to be powered off and you expect it to be ON via ipmitool, ELOM web GUI, Service Processor CLI and if you are local to the server. Steps to Follow Instructions to gather possible reasons of the outage: If the chassis has no power then the Service Processor will not function as it requires Standby Voltage. If this is the case then examination of the local server is required See "6. Verifying cause of NO power if you are local to the server" below. If you can communicate with the Service Processor then AC voltage is available to the server, so use the following to gather the status of the platform and to gather possible reasons of the outage using ipmitool, ELOM GUI, or Service Processor CLI. There are some conditions that trigger the BMC to issue a shutdown request:
The fault conditions that will trigger a shutdown are:
How to gather possible reasons of the outage using ipmitool Use the following common ipmitool commands to gather further data as to the possible reasons for the platform state. These would be useful if you need to report a support call. ipmitool -I lan -H <ELOM User name> -U <ELOM User name> sel elist ipmitool -I lan -H <ELOM User name> -U <ELOM User name> sel info ipmitool -I lan -H <ELOM User name> -U <ELOM User name> sdr list all info ipmitool -I lan -H <ELOM User name> -U <ELOM User name> fru print ipmitool -I lan -H <ELOM User name> -U <ELOM User name> sensor See <Document: 1009698.1> for further information on Intelligent Platform Management Interface (IPMI). Refer to Chapter 7: Using IPMI, Embedded Lights Out Manager Administration Guide For the Sun Fire X2200 M2 and Sun Fire X2100 M2 Servers, Part No.: 819-6588-13 How to gather possible reasons of the outage using ELOM web GUI Open ELOM Service Processor GUI, to access enter https://<ELOM IP address> in a supported browser. Depending of the ELOM version installed on your system, you will find the power status on the following pages: After you have logged into the Service Processor:

Refer to Embedded Lights Out Manager (ELOM) Administration Guide For ELOM for you platform and ELOM version. Also see ELOM Administration Guide Supplement for Sun Fire if available for your platform at: http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/documentation/oracle-x86-servers-190077.html How to gather possible reasons of the outage using ELOM Service Processor Command Line (CLI)
# ssh -l <USERNAME> <IP_ADDRESS>
-> show /SP/AgentInfo/SEL - This gathers the SEL event list. -> show -d properties -level all /SP/SystemInfo ? This gathers the Sensor values. How to gather possible reasons of the outage using if you are local to the server
NOTE: Unless you are familiar with these events as they are in raw format, I would suggest you use ipmitool commands above as this decodes these events automatically. As there will be events that are part of the normal process of the system powering on, decoding of these events would be required to look for issues. The messages can also be decoded manually by accessing the following document: http://www.intel.com/design/servers/ipmi/IPMIv2_0_rev1_0_markup_2.pdf http://www.intel.com/design/servers/ipmi/ It is beyond the scope of this document to discuss this manual process of decoding. If the system will still not power on even if AC is available on or remain on.
